PTSD Support in Houston

I found a group in Houston called the PTSD Foundation of America (ptsdusa.org). Has anyone heard of them or attend any of their Warrior Groups?

COL Mikel J. Burroughs has a great online program that helps PTSD vets find community and cope. He is a great person to connect with

Sir, I feel they do have a good Program. I'm not expert on it, but have had a lot of interaction with them in the last year or so. They have some great support channels and help get Veterans put back together so they can integrate with society. Like any Program they have their way of doing things. and their way may not be the most effective way for You or Other to get help. It never hurts to check it out. You can stop in or call if you want any information.

My interactions have been mostly during the recent Construction and hopefully we can help out with the next Dorm to go up. My Company donated the labor to install all of the HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and AC) Systems in one side of the new Dorms they built. I as a Veteran and a Business Owner try to give back to help Veterans. This one has touched close to home because our Master Plumbers Brother spent some time at Camp Hope getting help. Help that kept him from becoming one of the 22.

CPT Matthew Bate I've not heard of it, but I will defintely try to find out more. In the meantime, we've got a program that we started up called Sponsor a Vet Life (SAVL) and that is exactly what we provide (peer-to-peer) support via an online methodology in the Virtual World that helps members with PTSD, TBI, MST, and that are severely disabled reintegrate back into social settings and group functions. I'd like for you to check it out one of these days on a Monday evening. Here are the directions to attend a webinar and collaborate:

If you are interested and would like to attend a demonstration first, we are conducting them on Thursday nights at 7:00 PM EST. Please go to this link:

I have done numerous volunteer events at Camp Hope. It's by far one of the best places for veterans looking for help. It's a place for the worst of the worst. It's not funded by the Government at all, it's all donations and hard work. Check them out.
