VetsPrevail (TM) helps veterans transition from war


With support from NSF, former Navy pilot Rich Gengler, former Army sergeant Justin Savage and the team at Prevail Health Solutions have built and tested an online screening and counseling program called VetsPrevail (TM). Optimized through careful research, the program helps service members returning from Iraq and Afghanistan make a more successful transition. A Pentagon study concluded that returning Iraq and Afghanistan veterans are currently suffering from "daunting and growing mental health problems" with nearly one third of these military personnel reporting symptoms of mental illness upon their return from combat.
