About the Event
(This event is in person and online. Please refer to flyer for more information)
Today, one in four dying Americans is a Veteran. Veterans often had traumatic life experiences which can emerge at End of Life and affect the dying experience; as can PTSD. The presenters will offer a basic understanding of a Veteran’s unique needs and explore commons symptoms and treatment for PTSD. The panel will include the perspective of someone who has dealt with PTSD and now councels other Veterans. They will explain why enrolling in the VA as early as possible is critical. They will detail why enrolling when the Veteran is still mobile could be the difference between receiving free homecare vs. receiving only a small stipend for funeral costs.
