WASHINGTON, August 22 — Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao has announced a new online resource, the America's Heroes at Work Web site, to help employers in their employment of veterans with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which provides information about TBI and PTSD as well as tools and guidance on how to implement workplace accommodations and other services that benefit affected individuals. The Web site also includes the toll-free phone number of the Job Accommodation Network, which employers can call to receive personal assistance relating to job accommodations for veterans with disabilities.
"This America's Heroes at Work initiative focuses on the employment challenges of returning service members who are living with traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress disorder," said Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao. "One of the best ways we can help these courageous men and women and honor their sacrifice is to help them return to full, productive lives through work. Employment can also play a role in their recovery."
