What People Are Saying

"This training has been really helpful for me to process much of my own emotions. I am at a point now that being able to stop and look back at exactly how far we've come and being reminded of the painful past but positive changes was very empowering. Sometimes when we get stuck in the routine of moving on we lose sight of how far we've come."

"I realized I saw signs and symptoms of PTSD but did not know how to handle my loved one -- I know better how to handle situations."

"You realize that he will never be the same having been through war. I learned how to treat him more as an adult than as a hurt child."

"We are still friends with everyone that was in the class. There’s always and open ear and an open heart and a shoulder to cry on if you need it. — Father of a Veteran after graduating from a NAMI Family-to-Family class held at a VA hospital.
