PTSD Show Notes

I wanted to thank all of you for watching our show last night on "Soldiers and the Hidden Battle, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder." The show had some really great information for anyone affected by PTSD .

The show could not have happened without the help of Nathan Havey and Rick of In their Boots . In their boots created over 12 documentaries about the lives of soldiers and the issues they face when returning back home. They plan to produce another ten documentaries this year. In their Boots also plans to take their films on the road this year which will include panel discussions exploring issues soldiers face. The tentative schedule is below.

• Houston in April to explore the complexities of Traumatic Brain Injury, the signature wound of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
• May in Washington, DC to highlight the problem of homelessness among veterans and effective ways to address it.
• June in Atlanta to demonstrate the need for 'veteran's courts' and alternative sentencing to support veterans in their efforts to reintegrate when they return home.
• July in Chicago to examine the impact on children of losing a family member in the war.

If you missed the show, don't worry! As with all our shows, you can view them in their entirety by visiting the HealthyPlace Mental Health TV show homepage, clicking the menu button on the viewer, and selecting on-demand .

I always appreciate hearing from you. If you have any comments or questions, please email me at Producer AT heatlhyplace.com .
