The "Wounded Warrior Project" is having another conference on coping with combat stress. (They've got to get better at giving lengthier advance notice of these, if they really want more people to know about them.) Here's the info from their newsletter, delivered today:

WOUNDED WARRIOR PROJECT COPING Are you, or is someone you love, a recently returned service member who served in combat during Operations Enduring or Iraqi Freedom? If so, you or your loved one may, understandably, be experiencing stress while readapting to everyday civilian life. On April 9thth and 10th, 2006, the Wounded Warrior Project will be holding a two-day seminar at the Clarion Prince Charles Hotel in North Carolina entitled “Coping with Combat Stress”. The program, which is open to recently returned service members from Operations Enduring or Iraqi Freedom and their families, will educate the participants on how to identify and deal with the symptoms of combat stress and will demonstrate various relaxation and coping techniques. Professionals from the Saint Vincent Catholic Medical Centers/World Trade Center Healing Services will be leading the workshop. The Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) is a nonprofit organization aimed at assisting those men and women of the United States Armed Forces who have been severely injured during the wars on terrorism in Iraq, Afghanistan and other hot spots around the world. Beginning at the bedside of the severely wounded, WWP provides programs and services designed to ease the burdens of these heroes and their families, aid in the recovery process and smooth the transition back to civilian life. The Coping with Combat Stress seminar will be held at the Clarion Prince Charles Hotel, which is located at 450 Hay Street, Fayetteville, NC 28301. The two-day seminar is free of charge. Participants are expected to attend both days’ sessions and, accordingly, accommodations in Manhattan [??? they may be referring to their previous seminar, and this may be left in as an inadvertent typo] may be available. Space is limited so please register as soon as possible.
