Share Your Story with the Real Warriors Campaign

Do you have a success story or tips for overcoming challenges related to combat stress, post-traumatic stress or other invisible wounds? DCoE’s Real Warriors Campaign is looking for new volunteers for one of their most important features: video profiles.

At the heart of the Real Warriors Campaign are real service members and veterans who are proving through example that reaching out is a sign of strength. These real warriors have sought treatment or support and continue to maintain successful military or civilian careers. By sharing their stories of overcoming challenges related to psychological health, invisible wounds and reintegration, these real warriors encourage others to seek support and help other service members, veterans and their families know that they are not alone.

If you would like to share your story, please e-mail dcoe.realwarriors@tma.osd.mil.

To learn more about what others are doing to overcome invisible wounds, check out the campaign’s video profiles and message boards.

The Real Warriors Website features relevant articles for current and former military service members, their families and the health professionals who serve them. Check out what’s new:
