Anger and depression. Nightmares and substance abuse. Family breakdown and even suicide.
The symptoms of military PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) wreck lives.
One in four homeless people is a former member of the armed services. Over 20,000 veterans are in jail or on probation.

Residential care may be all that’s available, separating veterans from their families.
