The last chapter of our Spotlight Series focused on Vets Prevail: a site owned and operated by veterans focused on the transition from military to civilian life. This week we aim attention at Heal My PTSD which, while not military specific, offers some of the best PTSD education and treatment available online. Take a look:
Heal My PTSD started as the personal mission of Michele Rosenthal, the site’s founder. She focuses on “awareness, education, treatment and self-empowered healing” towards treating Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and has had much success as a counselor for those suffering from PTSD. Her passion for healing and empowerment is apparent in nearly every aspect of the site.

Education

Treatment
