Family members of veterans and active military in New Jersey and parts of New York can get free online training in dealing with issues such as Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome affecting their loved ones.
The VA NY/NJ Healthcare Network and a New York City-based technology company have launched “Family of Heroes,” an interactive training program in which participants role play three common scenarios involving military members and their families.
The one-hour training session is designed to help participants “manage the challenges of adjusting to post-deployment life,” according to a press release about the program.
