What

Operation TBI Freedom (OTF) offers veterans with traumatic brain injuries long-term nonmedical case management. Services include crisis management, medical and mental health referrals, employment/education assistance, emergency assistance for severe needs, support groups and outings, and more. OTF supports many service members from the multiple military installations and military communities throughout the state.

Why

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a serious yet often invisible injury and for Colorado veterans living with TBI, the return to a military career or transition into civilian life can be especially difficult. Operation TBI Freedom tailors a unique life plan for each client that promotes optimum independence and productivity. OTF walks the journey with the veteran through recovery, rehabilitation and reintegration.
