MA Vets: Funding to Increase for PTSD Counseling
The Coalition to Salute America's Heroes understands that not all scars from the war are visible to the eye. There is an estimated 300,000 troops from OEF/OIF that suffer from PTSD and TBI so these are becoming the signature injuries from these wars today.
That's why we are saluting the state of Massachusetts today. They have announced a promise to its veterans to increase financial aid for those suffering from PTSD and other emotional effects from combat. If you live in MA or want more information, we ask you to read this article from Military.com.
A state representative says that "Massachusetts has become a leader in providing support for veterans, who are seven times more likely to commit suicide than the general population, according to the Public Health Department."
If you or someone you love is suffering from the invisible scars of war, and need help, please call us. We can help you find someone in your area who can help you: 914-432-5400
