Mending Mental Gaps
Discussant Leader Training & Community Reception
UT Permian Basin invites you to the second cohort launch of Mending Mental Gaps: Negotiating Combat Trauma via Visual/Textual Humanities—a powerful humanities-based program designed for veterans, active service members, and their families.
