20 complex veteran healthcare system system map post-deployment phase emotional reintegration physical literature analysis - behavioral - emotional - built environment dialogue interviews At this point, we felt there was a need to look at the veterans experiences through the complex system; therefore, with the help from Wings for Warriors, we conducted a focus-group interview with 6 post-deployment soldiers.

21 Interview Data They just want to be treated the same... These guys are survivors and we survived it together... I don t like it how they see us we re weak or hindered... So just listen better... [My brothers and I] went camping...it was like the best... The forgotten element of the wounded warrior is the warrior itself......automatically have a diagnosis for you. Without hearing anything from you... I see them, I don t look down at them... I don t want to be pitied... Just let the person talk... I just want to be with my boys.

28 complex veteran healthcare system system map post-deployment phase reintegration emotional physical literature analysis - behavioral - emotional - built environment Some veterans have found individualized care through alternative therapies as well as some traditional medicine. The main issue is accessibility because it is so difficult to navigate the system as it currently stands. inital presentation interviews - brotherhood - no pity - being heard

29 What we have learned is that our research needs to move away from focusing on a model and focus more on the process of obtaining individualized care?

30 Panel Dicussion: - What successes have you experienced? - What barriers have you experienced? - Where do we go from here to gain better accessibility?
