Hello all,

 

I am trying to start a new special interest group and ABA:I on behavior analysis in military and veteran's issues. With the war in Iraq and Afganstan continuing, please support the SIG. N matter what your position on the war, thousands will return home with incredible amounts of suffering and pain secondary to injuries and behavioral health issues.

 

This SIG is devoted to the application of behavior analysis to US & UK Military and Veterans Issues. On the military end, the SIG sees its mission on how behavior analysis can aid in the defense of nations and maintaining the rule of law. In addition, this is a group dealing with issues which concerning US/UK Veterans of all wars such as readjustment returning home, addiction issues and issues of post traumatic stress, CNS injuries, and grief.  Governments have for some time been concerned about the number of veterans suffering from brain or spinal injuries, mental health problems, social service, and addiction problems which are related to their active service. In each of these areas behavior analysis has developed effective treatments. 

 

If you can support the group, please send an e-mail to Madja Suess "Majda Seuss" mSeuss@... stating your support.
