Post-Trauma Resources (PTSD, C-PTSD, PTSS)

In the process of providing resources for online activists over the last couple of years, we have discovered many things about online activists. One discovery we’ve made is that folks who are dealing with post-trauma issues (either from incidences occurring during military service or from personal trauma, or from a combination) often find that they are able to be productive and excel in the online environment, and often enjoy online activism as a way to retain their privacy while also sharing the wisdom and knowledge gained from their life experiences.

So, we are beginning a list of free online resources here, specifically for victims and their loved ones who are seeking information for coping with and recovery from PTSD, C-PTSD, PTSS, and other post-trauma issues (either professionally or self-diagnosed). This is meant to be just the beginning of a developing resource, so if you have additional links that you would like to share, either add them to the comment section so we can add them to the post, or send them to me, confidentially, at jennsierra@gmail.com.
