Open House - PTSD Support Group for Families
Post 295's Operation Provide Comfort II is hosting an Open House to provide information on a PTSD Support Group for families. The group will support families and veterans dealing with PTSD so that they may find the resources they may need.
The support group begins with providing emotional support and relaxation methods to deal with the stressors of everyday life. Should the resources be available we will work with veterans to find them the resources they need to survive.
Our goal is to coordinate with have the MD Dept of Veterans Affairs to assist those in need with finding assistance.

Relaxation techniques can provide some relief when dealing with stress, loneliness and trauma. We will work with area providers to provide instruction on those techniques.
Finding out that you are not the only one affected could provide support during rough times.

Post 295 is not a medical provider, we are providing a venue for those affected by war and conflict to find peers and support. Our mission is simple: provide a sympathetic ear, emotional & physical support to family members with dealing PTSD in the family.
