Engagement

Participation in life takes many forms. Most of us do the everyday common things that help us survive on a daily basis. Some of us complain, while others face the day with enthusiasm and a positive forward-looking attitude. In either case, we are connected to society. But what happens when the unexpected occurs? The soldier goes off to war and returns with multiple injuries. He/she is cared for by the best doctors, receives intensive therapy, and is sent home. The wounded soldier and his family now have to adapt, both within the family framework and in society at large. Opportunities for personal growth and development, social events, group activities, etc. need to be made available as early and quickly as possible to engage that soldier and help him/her reintegrate into society. What are your thoughts?
