    Keith will be focusing on understanding PTSD from a medical point of view as well as a humanistic perspective. Combat veterans offer an employer a unique skill set that would be very beneficial to any organization and he will be providing information on understanding combat veterans’ transition needs in working in the civilian work place.   He will also be discussing and debunking the idea that combat veterans will lose control or go “crazy” at some point.
