November 6, 2013, 6:00–9:00 pm Room 229 Thomas Jefferson School of Law 1155 Island Avenue, San Diego, CA 92101

Large numbers of recently returned veterans from the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan struggle with mental health and substance abuse issues. Some of these veterans end up in the criminal justice system, and strain the ability of the system to provide accountability for wrongdoing while recognizing the sacrifices of these veterans on behalf of our country. Mental health and criminal justice experts discuss these complex and overlapping issues.

  • Benjamin Bramer, Peer Support Specialist, Department of Veterans Affairs, San Diego
