The "Strength after Service" training provides OIF and OEF veterans and families with information about the effects of stress on the brain and body, and resulting symptoms like gastrointestinal difficulties, chronic pain, irritability, anger or depression. Participants will also learn skills to manage and reduce their own symptoms.
