The U.S. Veterans Administration’s (VA) National Center for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) aims to support and educate those who experience trauma or PTSD-related symptoms. Tools and resources can help you on your wellness journey.
It can be challenging to support a friend or loved one with PTSD. It can strain relationships and create challenges at home. If you have a loved one with PTSD, there are resources to support you as well.
The first step in supporting someone with PTSD is understanding what it is. We invite you to learn the basics of PTSD. Once you understand the basics, you can begin to advocate for your loved one.
