PTSD – A Family Journey

Source: Community | April 29, 2016

There was a presentation (see below for the livestream) from retired Lieutenant Colonel Chris Linford and his wife Kathryn at Royals Roads University on April 26, 2016.  Here is an overview of the session from the Royal Roads University website:

“Lieutenant-Colonel (Retired) Chris Linford and his wife Kathryn have been living with PTSD in their home since 1994. After Chris returned from Rwanda he found himself profoundly changed, angry all the time and extremely hypervigilant. Together they speak of what it is like to live with PTSD and the impact it had upon their family of five. PTSD often goes unspoken of in many circles, but we have learned much over the past decades about how it happens, why it happens and how we might best manage it. Chris and Kathryn share their story openly including what they did right and wrong over the years. They do this so that others might benefit and just maybe create their own plan to manage PTSD within their relationships.”

The presentation has been made available for anyone to view online.
