WASHINGTON, Nov. 9, 2010 – Troubled troops, veterans and family members have a round-the-clock, free resource for locating the help they need to deal with psychological health problems and traumatic brain injury.
The 24/7 Outreach Center is part of the Defense Centers of Excellence for Psychological Health and Traumatic Brain Injury, or DCoE. The center is always staffed with trained, professional health-resource consultants.
“The DCoE call center provides specific subject-matter expertise on psychological health and traumatic brain injury,” Lolita O'Donnell, DCoE acting director for clearinghouse, outreach and advocacy, said yesterday in a joint interview with the Pentagon Channel and American Forces Press Service.
