Virtual Online Communities Provide Help and Support for Combat Vet PTSD
Comments (0) I’ve just been checking out some online communities dedicated to providing support and information for combat vets and their families.
These are free and right at your fingertips. All you need is access to a computer, and the willingness to reach out to others. Here are just a few that can help combat vets, their partners, and families:

Charlene Rubush’s Note:
Periodically, I visit these sites, and find a tremendous amount of vital information. I just wish we’d had such groups available back in the sixties, seventies, and eighties, when I was dealing with terrible trauma behind closed doors, and had nowhere to turn.
But I’m thankful they are accessible today. There is nothing as comforting as interacting with others who have been in similar situations. In these groups we can find comfort and support with those who understand, and yet still retain a measure of anonymity.
