Are there any support groups for families of Viet Vets with PTSD? Anyone out there interested in starting one



Answer:
I am a vet but not a Vietnam vet but I know a lot of them, some with PTSD. My suggestion is to get in touch with the following veterans organizations, and their auxiliaries, in your area.

Amvets; www.amvets.org
Disabled American Veterans; www. dav.org
Veterans of Foreign Wars; www.vfw.org
American Legion; www.legion.org

These may know of a local support group or an on-line group. Vietnam vets are getting "up there" in age so there might not be as many as in past years.

Good luck, good health, peace and love!

Edit: Just type in "Vietnam veterans support groups" into yahoo! search and a number of informative links comes up many with indexes of family support worldwide.
Check your local vet center if none start one
