October 26, 2025 - 12:26
An East Texas college professor is making strides to enhance the well-being of veterans dealing with PTSD, thanks to significant funding from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Dr. Adam McGuire, an associate professor of psychology at the University of Texas at Tyler, has been awarded a $1.2 million merit grant to develop a project focused on this critical issue.
The initiative aims to provide veterans with alternative therapeutic approaches to manage their symptoms effectively. Dr. McGuire's project will explore various innovative strategies that go beyond traditional methods, seeking to create a more tailored and impactful treatment experience for those who have served the country.
With a growing recognition of the mental health challenges faced by veterans, this funding represents a vital step toward addressing PTSD in this population. Dr. McGuire's work not only underscores the importance of mental health support for veterans but also highlights the commitment of educational institutions to contribute positively to their communities.
