Mil Resource Radio with Linda Kreter and co-host Jason McNamara presents: PTSD – a Family Affair. While we primarily think of PTSD as a concern of veterans and first responders, it is also a concern among military spouses, teens, and children. Today we shine the light on PTSD in military families, teens and children and how to help parents recognize the warning signs and seek help. Judy Davis and Ingrid Herrera-Yee, PhD share excellent experiences and recommendations to support open-door, non-judgmental communication and resources to help families. Our military youth may internalize stressors and "adapt" to help the family; learn how to help your family and your community to seek and find support.
