Hypervigilance is exhausting because the nervous system never fully powers down.
Veterans feel that every day.

Today in Military History 🇺🇸
On June 12, 1948, the Women's Armed Services Integration Act made women permanent members of the U.S. Armed Forces.
Today we honor the women who paved the way and those who continue to serve.

📊 Fact: Among military populations with mTBI, nearly half (48%) also develop PTSD — a significantly higher rate than in civilian TBI cases.
At ORWF, we understand the unique challenges of mTBI and PTSD and help Veterans find the right path forward.
