PTSD-Spiritual Solutions

The Spiritual Challenge of PTSD

Our military members fight two wars - one on the battlefield…and one in their souls after they return home. For thousands of veterans and their families, despair has become an unwelcome, but constant companion.

Nearly 1 in 5 returnees from Iraq and Afghanistan will suffer from PTSD, and less than 40% of these will seek help. Their suicide rate is almost twice the national average, and 2 out of 3 of their marriages are failing.
How You Can Help

* You can be a bridge of healing. You don’t have to be a veteran, or a psychologist, or a pastor. Can you pray? Can you provide a meal? Can you reach out and be a friend? Can you listen to someone tell his or her painful story?
* There are many practical ways you and your church can become bridges of healing, bringing these wounded warriors closer to God, so that He can help them.
