During President Obama’s Saturday address of the Disabled American Veterans annual meeting, he announced aid efforts for veterans with PTSD and brain injuries. The Washington Post (8/11, Goldfarb) led its report with the President’s announcement of “an initiative to help treat veterans with brain injuries and mental-health conditions,” consisting of “a $100 million grant to research centers, led by the University of Texas at San Antonio and Virginia Commonwealth University, dedicated to treating brain injuries and mental-health issues, particularly post-traumatic stress disorder,” along with “an effort to share research among the numerous federal agencies studying and providing treatment to veterans with neurological problems.”
