Hi Y'all

The word, "PTSD" (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) is a modern day word that feels universality understood of individuals who experience trauma hard to forget.  The stigma or perception of the using of this term in labeling anyone who has it can be as scary as the idea of experiencing PTSD.  In itself is the catch 22, hard to share about PTSD in fear of stigma and hard to connect with other PTSD survivors if in hiding.

The ShareTheWill foundation recognizes that PTSD is an important discussion in our communities.  We have found that simply working together for a common purpose is the backbone to a path forward for all individuals of all types.  In this episode, we felt it important to shed light into the dark world of PTSD.   

The story of Veteran Michael Carson is one of heart break and hope.  STW Chairman Will, STW board member Brenda, and myself listen to Michael's story with love in our hearts.  We hope y'all listen too with unconditional love in your heart to him and many Veterans.  


PTSD doesn't have to be a stigma, it can be a bridge to unity when we understand what is going on.


Love,


Michael Curtiss and all STW board members.
