The Costs and Consequences of War

Mike Haynie, Vice Chancellor for Strategic Initiatives and Innovation and IVMF founder and executive director, wrote this commentary for The Hill: “Mental health and the cost of our wars.”

Haynie discusses the mental health implications of war on veterans saying, “It’s true that the complexity and scale of the mental health challenges to be addressed in this community is daunting. However, our collective objective is simple and clear. As one expert described to me, we need innovations and policy that empowers veterans challenged by PTSD to both survive and thrive.”
