Family
Education
One of the great needs
identified in our resent research is family education. With the
family of military veterans being a primary, long term support
ally, providing families with instruction, advice, and counsel
on how to "be there" for their veteran is critical.
Family
education can take many forms. In person group,
in person one-on-one, telephonic, online video
chat, online text chat, and online video
library. Each format has its strengths and
weaknesses. AHR is committed to testing each
modality to establish a best-practices and
effectiveness rating of each. In any case, the
result will be additional resources to prepare
families to care for their wounded or PTSD
recovering veteran.

Video Education
The
old saying that a picture speaks a thousand
words applies equally to video. In this advanced
time of Internet technologies, using videos on
line has become practical, both in terms of
technology and cost. Videos provide an
additional cognitive understanding angle that
can't be achieved by text articles alone. And
videos can be viewed by the entire family
together.
Whether the
video is being utilized by a care taker, family
member, the public for understanding, or the
veteran who is working through his or her PTSD
recovery, the experience of actually watching
and hearing other veterans and family members
share their experience and expertise brings a
sense of reality for recover and hope for the
future. And since the videos or video links can
be shared via email, the community awareness
factor added to the direct veteran benefit is
tremendous.
