War on Many Fronts: African American Veterans with PTSD

-Information for Veterans and Family

-Perspectives for Treatment Providers

PTSD does not discriminate. Millions of African Americans have served our country in the military. Each African American veteran brings his or her life experience, which may include discrimination or abuse. And this may compound PTSD. Our goal is to help VA treatment Providers and others understand the history and cultural issues of African Americans and how we can best serve these veterans.
