Searching for support after difficult calls can leave you with more tabs open than answers. Start with the question that matters most today: understanding what is happening, finding care, or supporting someone you love.


Understand trauma and treatment


Use reliable education to prepare questions for a clinician. An article or app can help you learn; it cannot diagnose you or decide which treatment fits your needs.




First responder and family connection


The First Responder Support Network provides information about its responder and spouse programs. Contact the organization directly about current eligibility, dates, costs, and availability.



Tools between appointments


The VA's PTSD Coach offers education and coping tools. Review its current features and privacy information, and ask your clinician how a self-help tool might fit your care.



Bring a few questions


  • What kind of support am I looking for right now?

  • Does this provider understand my work and my goals?

  • How will privacy, records, fees, and scheduling be handled?

  • What would help my family understand what I am experiencing?
