On ‘Psychology Behind the Headlines’ hosts Patricia Wu, Jessica Reyes, and guest equine therapist Erin Cain discuss how PTSD affects military families.
Family Struggles with Veteran’s PTSD
Veterans with PTSD face immense challenges, and their families often suffer alongside them. Children may be forced into adult roles too early, impacting their own well-being.
Finding Support
There are resources and support for military families. Organizations like the Elizabeth Dole Foundation offer help and hope to families facing similar challenges.
The Importance of Family-Focused Care
Treating a veteran’s PTSD should involve supporting their entire family. Equine therapy, as Erin explains, can be a powerful tool for healing the whole family system.
