Overcoming PTSD and Preventing Suicide

On Monday, February 4th, Operation Warrior Wellness hosted a luncheon conference on "Overcoming PTSD and Preventing Suicide: An Evidence-based Approach through Meditation in the Military". The conference followed new reports that 22 veterans die from suicide every day.

At the conference, combat veterans—P-51 fighter pilot Jerry Yellin, CMS (Ret.) Ed Schloeman and Afghanistan War veteran Luke Jensen—shared moving accounts of their personal battles with PTSD and close brushes with suicide.
