| Since 1984, Point Man International Ministries has focused on reaching out and ministering to the veterans still suffering from their involvement in war, with special emphasis on the Vietnam era veteran. A large number of men and women are still plagued to some degree by war-related readjustment problems. A veteran who suffers from one or more of these problems is generally diagnosed as experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). But, most assuredly, the problem does not end there. The erratic behavior and manifestation of delayed stress greatly affects the spouses and children who live with it day in and day out. The following statistics help to illustrate the magnitude of this problem among Vietnam vets and their loved ones. More than 800,000 Vietnam vets suffer from PTSD to some extent. More than 40 million Americans, nearly 20% of our population, have a direct personal link to a Vietnam veteran, (i.e. parents, spouses, and children). The suicide rate for Vietnam veterans is 33% higher than that of the general population. The divorce rate for Vietnam vets is double the national average. Among combat vets, 80-90% have been divorced. Unemployment of vets is twice the national average. |
| The strategy for healing that Point Man International Ministries has found effective in dealing with the Vietnam veteran is now being offered to the husbands and wives of veterans through Project: Homefront. Homefront Chapters are all led by vet spouses, who have experienced the war at home and found God as the only true answer to their hurts. These women minister love, compassion, support and help to educate families who live with post traumatic stress. The three main needs addressed are:
Vet spouses need to know that they are not alone in their experience with their partners. Vet families need to understand PTSD and why the veteran responds to life the way he or she does. Vet loved ones need to focus on their own relationship with the Creative Force, and allow the peace in their own heart determine the way they respond to their vet through awareness of the Power of Presence. |

| If you ever feel alone in the struggle of dealing with PTSD in your veteran, you are not! There are many of us who love someone with PTSD and understand how hard it�can often be.�
However, as much as our hearts may break for the horrific traumas our loved ones have lived through, we are important too and we hope you will join us in a safe and comfortable place of support, understanding and friendship. |
