Gift From Within - PTSD Resources for Survivors and Caregivers

---

Dear Friends: PTSD is a difficult injury to understand, to tolerate, and to overcome. The goal of this section is to provide information about PTSD for both the Veteran and the military family. It is our hope that the information here lays the groundwork for further exploration into this subject matter and to de-stigmatize, and normalize symptoms of PTSD. We hope you find these materials helpful. Thank you. Joyce

Comments: The Gift From Within website and associated materials are among the most excellent of all resources available to our military and veteran population. I have forwarded them to the masses. In addition, I have used them widely in the civilian sector for SICU nursing staff in the throes of relentless traumatic events. For everything provided to us for use with so many suffering souls, I am indebted. Kathy Platoni, Psy.D. Colonel, US Army Reserve Army Reserve Psychology Consultant ***************************************************************** I like this resource. A great feature is the variety of military related articles located conveniently in one area. They are well written and professional. Unlike the blogs that seem to be everywhere these days. I also like the timed webcasts. Living with a sufferer one understands that something trivial to one person can be a trigger for another. Knowing how much time the video will take allows for viewing without the worry of triggering your loved one. Sincerely, Karen Grey, BA Founder, The Truth In Numbers on Facebook
