Love After War: Supporting Disabled Veterans with Dr. Mitchell Tepper
Aired Thursday, 18 August 2016, 4:00 PM ET
Dr. Martha Tara Lee welcomes Dr. Mitchell Tepper to discuss his new documentary, Making Love after Making War: Supporting Intimate Relationships for Injured Veterans and Their Families. Too many soldiers are returning home with catastrophic physical and mental wounds that leave them feeling unable to have intimate relationships. Many wounded warriors and their families haven’t been told that a healthy, satisfying sex life and even having children are possible for them. LoveAfterWar will show case real life examples of disabled veterans reclaiming healthy, fulfilling relationships despite their injuries and will raise awareness of the intimacy issues that disabled veterans face.
