You will have to sign up for a facebook account and submit a request for membership, but it is well worth it. Membership is open only to Children and Grandchildren of Vietnam Veterans, or others seeking assistance in living with the daily rigors of PTSD. The network is international and several thousand strong. You'll be very happily surprised when you join our "family".

We also have another networking site for all children, grandchildren, relatives and friends of ours who want to contribute to the massive pool of experience and knowledge we are accumulating.

Depression? Anxiety? Anger? Guilt? Shame? Memory?
Are you a child or grandchild of a Vietnam Veteran? Do you or your children have emotional and learning difficulties? Do you have other physical issues and concerns that make you "different"? Do you have trouble “fitting in” with others? Do you have more questions than answers?

If you, or someone you are related to, has experienced a severe life-threatening event (such that would result in Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), we can help bring meaning and understanding. This extends beyond just the Vietnam War to all conflicts since Vietnam (including the current Middle-East Crisis) and domestic drama such as sexual assault, armed holdup, harrassment, severe accident, holocaust, etc.

Your parents’ and grandparents’ experiences can influence your health and well-being. Evidence suggests the symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can be inherited. They range from mild to chronic and are often called ADHD, Aspergers, Autism, Bipolar, Mania and others. This site also presents and discusses some of the issues around the inherited aspects of TDCC (Agent Orange) and other chemicals used in the Vietnam War.

Supported by the Vietnam Veterans Association of Australia (QLD) we are helping answer questions, and find meaning and understanding in our lives and the lives of our children.
