Welcome to the Not Silent – Blog
This is our third blog on the website and the articles and posts will be centered on PTSD, OSI’s, and generalized Mental Health and Wellness.
There are significant numbers within our organization that have struggled at some point, or continue to mitigate the effects of trauma, be it mentally, physically, or a combination of both.
Our greater community, which includes retired, active duty military and First Responders, also has unique experiences. The posts or articles many times won’t come from medical journals or professionals, but offer potentially unique insight from those that manage this type of challenge.
When possible, there will be guest medical professionals providing their insight and views when we can get them.
