The importance of research
The importance of research to help improve mental health care
“You have to take care of yourself, especially being in the military. Mental health or physical health, you take care of yourself. So this is why that research is important to me, and this is why mental health is important to me.” – Bryan Billups, Army Veteran
Help researchers continue to make discoveries in areas that matter to Veterans.
