An Evening with Charles Hoge
Once a Warrior, Always a Warrior: Navigating the Transition from Combat to Home
Thursday, November 8
7:30pm
Wendy Williamson Auditorium
Free for Everyone
Dr. Charles Hoge, Colonel, U.S. Army (Ret.) served in the military as a psychiatrist, and provided treatment to soldiers and their family members. Dr. Hoge is a nationally known expert on military related PTSD, mTBI (mild traumatic brain injury) and other physiological reactions to war, as well as treatment strategies for war-related conditions. Dr. Hoge’s lectures pull from his experience on working with soldiers transitioning from hostile war zones to their home life. His book, Once a Warrior Always a Warrior delves into how a soldier’s knowledge is vital to himself or herself. Dr. Hoge’s work also strives to improve combat stress care within our military system. Now retired from military service, Dr. Hoge is a passionate advocate for reducing the stigma on mental health care within the military.
