Real Talk: Life & Love with PTSD
July 9 @ 12:00 pm – 1:30 pm CDT
Navigating love and PTSD together
Let’s be real: loving a veteran or service member who struggles with PTSD and other invisible wounds can be challenging. Even when your relationship is strong and support is in place, it’s a unique journey—one that not everyone fully understands. This monthly gathering offers a space where you can speak openly, feel heard, and connect with others who truly get it. Whether you’re navigating emotional ups and downs, intimacy challenges, or caring for your own well-being, you don’t have to do it alone.
While there are many resources for individuals living with PTSD, support for their loved ones can be harder to find, and your health and happiness matter, too. At VSN, we deeply value the emotional, mental, and physical well-being of spouses and partners. These sessions offer real talk, community, and practical support for those facing relationship challenges tied to PTSD. Meetings are peer-led by VSN staff or trained peer leaders and held periodically. Join whenever you need connection, understanding, and encouragement.
