Summary: Recovery from head injuries can be among the most difficult for veterans. Medical practitioners at the Veterans Health Administration's Center of Excellence in Palo Alto are acting on the idea that encouraging veterans to share their stories can help. They've teamed with the non-profit TeachAids to develop a project called the Crash Course Concussion Story Wall.
