    AbstractTraumatic brain injury (TBI)-an injury to the brain that may or may not create lasting impairment for the survivor-has been recognized as a major public health problem by the Centers for Disease Control ( Langlois, Rutland-Brown, & Thomas, 2006 ). Ongoing conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan have highlighted the problem for the military ( Warden, 2006 ). Many soldiers are exposed to severe impact to the head resulting in TBI. As those with TBI transition to their home locality, civilian social workers and other providers will be involved in their care. This article examines the medical and emotional implications of mild TBI and offers suggestions for care of those affected, both the service member and his/her family.
