Courage After Fire

We've written Courage After Fire to acknowledge the many challenges faced by Iraq and Afghanistan War veterans, and to support our troops and military families in their transition home. This self-help guide provides information on combat stress, war related grief, anger, and sleep problems, and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), as well as the effects of PTSD on couples and children. In addition, we offer specific strategies and assistance for the post-war adjustment and combat stress treatment of Iraq and Afghanistan War veterans, Active Duty service members, National Guard, and Reservists.

As clinicians who have worked for years with veterans of various war eras, we recognize that combat affects not only the troops but their entire circle of family, friends, employers, and community. Courage After Fire offers information and tips for family members and close friends-those who have kept things going on the home front and waited anxiously for their veteran's return. It is also for doctors, counselors, employers, coworkers, and others who may be asked to help with a veteran's transition home.

We understand the stigma people feel about asking for psychological help. And we know that seeking help can be especially difficult for military service members. Some believe that it shows weakness. The truth is, getting help for yourself or for someone you care about takes strength and dedication. Courage After Fire can help you begin that process.

Identifying and addressing problems related to war experiences as soon as possible is vital to overcoming them. Our goal is to offer help, hope, and inspiration to our newest veterans on their journey home from war.
