Welcome, dear friends! Thanks for visiting Family Of a Vet (FOV). |
This site is dedicated to you... whether you're a Veteran or someone who loves a Veteran.
It was created trying to figure out how to handle the "after shocks" of combat including
PTSD (Posttraumatic Stress Disorder) and TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury). We're here
to help you find your way, find the information you need, and find a way not only to cope
with life after combat... but to survive and thrive!
Our most important current project is our Congressional Survey. If you're visiting this site,
please, please, please take time to fill it out. It's one way we're trying our best to get all
Veterans and their families the help and support the need and deserve. It will only work,
though, if we have LOTS of responses!!!!
Due to overwhelming response as a result of some recent news coverage and an ever
increasing need for real-world information about PTSD, TBI, and life after combat,
FamilyOfaVet.com is expanding. Want to know what's going on? CLICK HERE!
One of the saddest parts of some of the issues (PTSD, TBI, etc.) facing our nation's
returning heroes, is the current spike in suicide rates. This trend is one of the many things
weighing heavily on the hearts of the FOV staff right now.
If you, or any Veteran you know, is struggling with depression and is at risk for suicide,
please pass the following information along to them...
The National Suicide Hotline now has a special option just for Veterans. When you call the
Hotline (800-273-TALK), simply push "1" to be routed to someone who is experienced in
helping Veterans in crisis.
More emergency needs are also covered in our "FOV's 911" section.
Our site is listed on the "Worldwide Top Sites for Veterans". Our position in that list is
based on the number of votes we receive. Voting takes just a second. So, if you don't
mind, please CLICK HERE to vote. Thanks!
If you're looking for more information about PTSD and life after combat, you should check
out the Vietnam Veteran Wives - an organization dedicated to helping Veterans of all wars
and their families. If you haven't heard about the VVW yet, we strongly suggest that you
check them out!!
