MD, Colonel, U.S. Army (Ret.), Author; Once a Warrior, Always a Warrior
 Already a nationally-known advocate for eradicating the stigma of mental health care in the military, Dr. Hoge now reaches out to a larger audience. Not only veterans, but their families, friends, community, coworkers, and health care providers will welcome this wealth of new insight and practical information.

Dr. Hoge's compelling message about recognizing the value of combat survival skills will help anyone who wants to more fully understand the experience of service members and veterans.
Dr. Hoge speaks to anyone who has ever returned from a war zone, and describes how to successfully navigate the transition from the war zone - no matter how many days, months, or years have passed. The warrior's spouse, partner, family members, community, as well as coworkers and health care providers will be enriched by this informative presentation.
