Summary: Linda Kreter and Military Network Radio presents: Understanding Trauma Response (PTSD) for Family and Friends. Today, veterans Michael Orban (Vietnam) and Justin Constantine (Iraq) talk candidly about the process of personally understanding the effects of trauma, and that of family members, who may not understand, and friends who don't know how to engage. Though their experiences are 50 years apart, their guidance is similar: peers support vets, finding purpose, finding outlets w/writing and talk-therapy, self-care, as does taking time for reflection, responsibility, and personal initiative. Together we make a difference.
