There is an excellent non-profit that began operating in late 2008 that is very complementary to the mission and goals of CareForTheTroops
Veteran´s Heart Georgia fosters the healing of veterans of all wars by attending to the spiritual and emotional needs of veterans, their families and our communities.
We urge you to link to their web site and take advantage of their training and support activities. CareForTheTroops is inclusive and believe that by working together we can best support the returning veterans and their extended family members.
Stuff To Know - Main Page
Introduction:
This Stuff You Should Know page contains some very useful miscellaneous information for all categories of visitors to this site.
- Clinicians should find this helpful in understanding the military culture and many of the issues that may be affecting their clients. It may help in developing treatment plans that address the issues presented by their clients.
- Congregation and Community Leaders can gain an appreciation for what members of their communities are dealing with and better appreciate to whom they may refer for further treatment.
- And of course, military personnel and their families can use the information to better understand how they can help themselves and seek help, especially when in the position of working with civilian support resources that do not have a background in the military culture that would be ideal.
Don't forget, if you are so inclined to seek out a therapist trained to help with a individual, family, or marital issue, search our database on this web site by clicking on the FIND A THERAPIST button on the top right side.
