Veterans of our United States Military have long been affected by their service. What used to be called “shell shock” or “battle fatigue” is known today as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. They face a great deal of stigma surrounding their PTSD and there are a variety of barriers to getting the care that they need. Often, family members want to help but don’t know how. This paper looks into the ways community members and family members of a veteran with PTSD can help him or her assimilate into civilian life and cope with PTSD. Data collected will include a literature review on what has already been tried successfully, what therapies are available, and a review of resources available to help veterans.
