The MacTEACH PTSD Ambassadors Project
The MacTEACH PTSD Ambassadors Project serves and advocates for veterans and military families suffering from PTSD related issues. This includes educating their own students and the public as to the daily suicide crisis facing veterans and active duty military. Students involved with MacTEACH begin to learn and understand the many facets associated with the destructiveness of PTSD, and create support avenues for veterans suffering. The Ambassadors, in association with Wish For Our Heroes, hosts forums for the purpose of advocacy and action.
Our next forum is slated for early 2019. Look for more details coming in the next few months!
