Description

Many soldiers and civilians suffer long term from the trauma of war.  Multiple losses, horrific images, human cruelty, and the constant threat of death often result in severe post-traumatic stress disorder.  We will discuss PTSD, its long term effects, how traumatic memories continue to impact lives, and what counseling can contribute to helping soldiers or civilians begin to heal.
