Mental health injuries like PTSD are some of the most difficult injuries to identify. Physical wounds can easily be observed and treated but traumatic events can often leave veterans with hidden mental injuries. New first-aid training aims to solve that problem by helping care providers on the front line identify signs of mental health problems.
