Page 48 - Total War on PTSD

Crisis is both a challenge and an opportunity to transform and acclimate. There are lessons to be learned from the past and Veterans must be the experts we look to for hope and solutions. Veterans (although a vulnerable population) provide clues and principles that may be pertinent to many groups globally during this pandemic. Taking care to understand our Veterans has always been a goal in mental health counseling. It is even more important now that we take care of each other. By following the recommendations of the VA, the WHO and psychologists, we will be able to ensure that we help traumatized individuals around the globe. Veterans can help us come up with solutions and tips that are tried and true, so that we can heal as a world after the pandemic has passed.
