BrainLine's video: Ashton Kroner Marine Veteran: Discovering Alternative Therapies for TBI and PTSD

People, in particular veterans, are often skeptical about how helpful alternative therapies can be for their symptoms of TBI and PTSD. A Marine Veteran herself, Veteran Outreach Director of Wounded Warrior's Road Home Program was resistant to try mindfulness, meditation, and yoga; these practices seemed ridiculous to her. But with time and patience, she began to feel great benefits of them. Ashton Kroner is the Veteran Outreach Director of the Road Home Program (https://roadhomeprogram.org/), part of the Wounded Warrior Project's Warrior Care Network: https://youtu.be/ypYpsajBmsk. Ashton served in the United States Marine Corps for five years as a Field Radio Operator with 8th Communications Battalion, Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. She deployed in 2009 in support of OIF receiving orders as a Lioness attached to 1st Battalion, 8th Marines in Al-Taqaddum Air Base. In 2011 she deployed to Camp Leatherneck in support of OEF with 8th Communications Battalion. During her time in service, she suffered multiple traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) and now lives with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
