Help Restore Young Lives Through P.T.S.D.

Help Restore Young Lives Through P.T.S.D.

The Issue

Will you join us in our efforts to pass legislation that will address the issue of the effects of violence on youth with P.T.S.D. Treatments are long over-due as exemplified by the long struggle of the Veterans of America. As children age, there is a greater opportunity for exposure.  Millions of young people between the ages of 03-30 years old are suffering lifetime exposure due to violence. We believe there needs to be, compensation for youth suffering with P.T.S.D in America. Treatment and programs that are proven to help in the healing process of those with P.T.S.D.
