Thank you, FishJoel.

As a civilian, I wonder if there's somewhere that I can volunteer my time to assist. I'm not a professional counselor or anything, but if I could help a soldier get a budget created and a computer set up to allow for easier management of finances, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

The other problem is that TBI is really not well understood. I can't tell you how many patients I've seen with diffuse TBI that just struggled with the most day-to-day chores. The brain is a sensitive thing, and having that massive concussive force pass through it (resulting from nearby explosions) is going to inevitably cause difficulty.
You should be able to find a suitable group somewhere in this list;

I wonder how prevalent undiagnosed and untreated TBI is in the civilian population at-large. It seems this is another area where testing and treatment borne of military necessity can help the medical field in general.
