Increasing numbers of Veterans who have been deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan experience mental health challenges including depression, anxiety, and PTSD. According to a study published by Management Science, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) will affect as many as 35% of Veterans deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. It has become clear that public education, early intervention, and comprehensive care are critical in the mission to assist these veterans.
To that end, Sandy Island Press has decided to provide Friends for Life to mental health professionals for only the cost of shipping. Counselors, doctors, and organizations working with Veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan and their families can receive free copies of the book now through December 31, 2010, while supplies last.
While our family members were deployed, we realized that most people don't know of understand the trials a military family experiences during a loved one's deployment. We wrote the book to help people understand these experiences. It is important to remember that PTSD affects not only the veteran, but the veteran's family, friends, and coworkers. As the soldier deals with his own feelings of anger, confusion, fear and grief, the family struggles to understand and cope.
