r is often seen as a short lived event, but in reality, it is long term, inflicting significant impact on individuals, families and communities. Triage and treatment must take place physically, mentally and spiritually. Significant events change lives. It can be a well managed and effective change handled with education and experience in a forwarding motion.
Most people are in need of mental health relief after experiencing war. Military service men and women function better right away and in the long run if they have help with any grief and anxiety as soon as possible. Most people suffer from PTSD after war and disaster form extreme to mild.
In support of military men and women, returningvets.org
provides Moving On Retreat, information on PTSD, resources and referrals, the Military Memorial online and a toll free number for counseling.
Military families who have a service member overseas are also going
through increasing stress and are in need of relief, respite and support.
The toll free number is available to families for counsel, referrals, & resources too.
An effective tool for limiting PTSD is the 5 night/6 day retreat, the "Moving On" Retreat, formatted especially for military men and women returning from war. This is a good opportunity to minimize the negative effects of PTSD.
