Operation Brain Health
Welcome to Operation Brain Health
If you are a military service member or veteran suffering from the effects of brain trauma, know this: traumatic brain injury (TBI), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) don't control your future. YOU are still in control of your brain health. There are strategies, tactics, and treatments that can help you feel better today and lower your risk of problems in the future. Operation Brain Health is our library of brain health resources designed for members of the military community and others affected by brain trauma, and their caregivers and loved ones. We have recruited the top medical experts to help you live your best and healthiest life.
Operation Brain Health is part of our Project Enlist program, which serves as a catalyst for research on military veterans with TBI, CTE and PTSD by rapidly increasing the number of veteran brains donated to brain banks for study. Brain Bank research is an essential step in developing effective treatments for TBI, CTE and PTSD so we can protect and support our veterans. You can get involved in Project Enlist by pledging to donate your brain. Your organization can help power Project Enlist by becoming a Project Enlist partner.
