Post-traumatic stress is common among veterans, and help works. Knowing the signs is the first step toward healing for veterans and their loved ones.
Reliving events through memories or nightmares, avoiding people or places, feeling jumpy or easily angered, trouble sleeping and feeling numb or distant are common signs.
Listen without pressure, learn about PTSD together and encourage professional care. Taking care of your own health as a caregiver matters too.
Therapies such as Cognitive Processing Therapy and Prolonged Exposure, along with certain medications, help many veterans. The VA and community providers offer care.
A car donation is a positive, practical way to give back. Free pickup makes it simple, and net proceeds benefit veteran programs.
