The Defense Centers of Excellence for Psychological Health and Traumatic Brain Injury (DCoE) is a United States Department of Defense (DoD) organization that provides guidance across DoD programs related to psychological health (PH) and traumatic brain injury (TBI) issues.
The organization's official mission is to "improve the lives of our nation’s service members, families and veterans by advancing excellence in psychological health and traumatic brain injury prevention and care.
"[1] Eight different blue ribbon panels and commissions were established in 2007 to examine PTSD, TBI and other combat-related health issues.
DCoE focuses on education and training; clinical care; prevention; research; and service member, family and community outreach.
The campaign promotes help-seeking behavior among service members and veterans with invisible wounds and encourages the awareness and use of available resources.
