Invitation for feedback about the VA Healthcare system: The VA wants to hear veterans’ good and bad experiences, so they can begin to address the trust issues.  See the article at: http://www.blogs.va.gov/VAntage/8635/bridging-the-va-trust-gap/

We’ve previously highlighted the amazing and heroic efforts of Team Rubicon, a group of veterans and skilled volunteers who respond to disasters around the globe.  Their website also has an informative article on vicarious trauma, the impact of repeatedly witnessing dramatic tolls on human life that they encounter – a work side-effect they share with combat veterans, EMTs, doctors, nurses, and humanitarian workers.  Learn more at: http://teamrubiconusa.org/understanding-and-addressing-vicarious-trauma
