Non-Profit
Provides Free Online Support Meetings for PTSD
Private,
anonymous meetings in real-time 3D web space spans distance for post-trauma
sufferers
Feb 5, 2012 – For
Immediate release
Fearless Nation
PTSD Support announces five free weekly peer-support meetings for post-traumatic
stress disorder (PTSD) sufferers that educate, provide techniques for recovery,
and encourage community support. The meetings take place in the 3D web world of
SpotOn3D (soon to be named World Works), a free online service anyone can
access from the web or Facebook.
"We were the
first PTSD support organization to use this technology to aid recovery,"
comments Colleen Crary, founder of Fearless Nation and herself a PTSD survivor."Our
new site is much easier to use and provides greater privacy and anonymity for
members. We encourage anyone struggling with PTSD to join us for these meetings.
They are proven effective and cost nothing. You only have to want to recover."
Since 2009,
Fearless Nation PTSD Support has made it a top priority to create a free,
easy-to-access place for PTSD survivors to meet, no matter their geographical
location, where member can take back control of their lives in a safe
environment, and where members' privacy is respected. Meetings address PTSD
symptom management, consumer information, making smart decisions about care,
addiction recovery and education, and include takeaway materials and techniques
to practice to manage post trauma.
Meetings take
place every Tuesday and Wednesday at 11 AM and 6 PM Pacific Standard Time
(U.S.) and encourage participation by all trauma survivors internationally, not
just military personnel. "We welcome PTSD
survivors, their families, friends, and clinicians," Crary says. "This
includes war veterans, law enforcement, emergency responders, sexual and
physical abuse survivors, torture and crime victims, man-made and natural
disaster survivors, trauma clinicians, and those close to anyone who has
suffered physical, psychological, and verbal trauma."
In
addition, a weekly group featured discussion and group meeting will feature
guest speakers, demonstrations, and special workshops for spouses, family, and
friends of PTSD survivors.
Details
on these meetings and easy instructions for joining the meetings can be found
on the Fearless Nation PTSD Support web site http://www.fearless-nation.org/Invitation.html
"We
know our program works, because we take an individual approach to tackling
PTSD. We respect the fact that there is no 'one size fits all' approach. We
hope more people will take advantage of this free, effective program. It works,"
says Crary.
