FASD United
If you are looking for valuable information regarding FASD and other resources, please take a look at FASD United. They are doing great work in advocating for The Respect Act and have nationwide affiliates and resources posted on their website. I have personally met with representatives of FASD United and I cannot impart just how helpful and great they are. To visit, simply click on the image below!
PTSD: National Center for PTSD
It doesn't matter if you are a veteran of the United States Military branches, this valuable resource helps provide information on PTSD. PTSD is a very serious, life altering, condition and can occur from more than military combat. Childhood trauma, sexual violence, mental abuse, physical violence and more all contribute to PTSD. Every individual handles and experiences PTSD in different ways but what we all have in common is the fact that we need to address our triggers and conditions in a way that is helpful to us. Don't hesitate to get help today. While this may be the VA website, it does have plenty of information you may need. To visit, simply click on the image below.
