CT Veterans Needs Assessment

New research for veterans identifying significant rates of PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) and other compelling problems for veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan has been released by the Center for Public Policy & Social Research (CPPSR) at Central Connecticut State University (CCSU). Based on the data, CPPSR has made policy recommendations to help these veterans better readjust to civilian life and stands ready to assist other states in doing the same.
In this video, we hear from JoelPatrick Leger, a veteran who served in Iraq, and from CT DVA Commissioner Linda Schwartz, CPPSR Executive Director Steve Kliger, and Dr. Marc Goldstein and Dr. Jim Malley, the principal investigators on this research.
