Online Resource for Employers of TBI and PTSD Veterans
The America’s Heroes at Work Web site ( www.AmericasHeroesAtWork.gov) has been launched by the U.S. Department of Labor for use by employers who hire veterans that have suffered a traumatic brain injury and/or post-traumatic stress disorder. The web site includes tools and guidance on how to implement accommodations and other services at the workplace. As well as a toll-free number where employers can call to receive assistance relating to workplace accommodations for veterans with disabilities. The site is also a reservoir of job coaching and mentoring programs. The site seeks to help and encourage employers in their endeavor to not only assist veterans, but to help non-veterans who have suffered TBI and PTSD. America’s Heroes at Work is managed jointly by the Department of Labor’s Office of Disability Employment Policy and Veterans’ Employment and Training Service, in collaboration with other federal agencies engaged in TBI and PTSD programs, including the Department of Defense, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Education, and the Social Security Administration.
