Topeka, KS – Since the start of the Hospitalized Veterans Writing Project, expressive therapy has become a widely accepted method of dealing with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. The project is now reaching out to a new generation of vets coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan. Dr. Samuel Bradshaw is the retired chief of psychiatry at the Veterans Administration Hospital in Topeka.

He'll be at the The National World War I Museum at Liberty Memorial Saturday, October 31st talking about this work.

Susan B. Wilson

A native of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Susan admits that her “first love” was radio, being an avid listener since childhood. However, she spent much of her career in mental health, healthcare administration, and sports psychology (Susan holds a PhD in clinical psychology from the University of Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania and an MBA from the Bloch School of Business at UMKC.) In the meantime, Wilson satisfied her journalistic cravings by doing public speaking, providing “expert” interviews for local television, and being a guest commentator/contributor to KPRS’s morning drive time show and the teen talk show “Generation Rap.”
