The Impact Of The Circle Of Change Programs On Veterans

By Nancy Martin


Post-traumatic stress disorders pose a high risk to veterans and the general public as well. The adverse medical condition is often the first stage paving the way forward to a plethora of other debilitating scenarios. The number of suicides and homicides resulting from PTSD is the number one concern on the minds of many doctors and researchers. Private organizations like the circle of change have also come onboard to try and offer their assistance to the Patriots.

To a large extent, this team relies on the pledges and the charitable donations from people who are touched by the state of their selfless patriots. The patriots who gave up their normal lives to go out there to distant lands with the hope of making a difference in another part of the world, for the common good of humanity. The well-wishers volunteer their time and give out their resources as a way of saying thank you for their services.

Psychiatrists have been unable to pinpoint with accuracy the visible signs of a person in need of PTSD counseling. The reason for this difficulty lies in the fact that people react to stress and depression in their unique ways. A huge majority of the veterans enrolled in the program; however, report having trouble sleeping owing to the recurrent nightmares they experience. The patients also experience an uncontrollable temperament which makes them a danger to themselves and others.

The approaches recommended are aimed at giving the veterans a second lease of life. If successful, the therapy ensures the service men and women get a chance to continue living a healthy and a functional life as they once did before their life-changing ordeals and experiences. Some people recover in a matter of months, others, however, take many months before they get over their excruciating nightmares.

Numerous scientific studies have shown that dealing with dogs does indeed make a profound difference in the lives of the patriots. What happens is that the veterans are given detailed instructions on how to discipline a troubled animal. The aim of the course is to help build their confidence and self-esteem. In the process, the patients get to deal with other soldiers going through the same ordeals as they are and this helps in the overall recovery process.

Typically, the courses last for up to thirteen weeks. The course is broken down into two-hour weekly sessions wherein the students progressively learn how to tame the troubled dogs. The bonds and the connections with not just the dogs but with the other attendants as well is excellent when it comes to turning around the lives of the veterans for the better. It is also a useful income-generating skill they could use to make some money.

The organization is fast gaining a reputation for being a success story. Over the years, the non-profit organization has gone ahead and introduced other fun-filled, engaging activities for the returning service men and women. There are sporting events and get-togethers whereby the patients get a lovely chance to interact with each other as they share their ordeals. That, alone and by itself is a corrective measure which speeds up the recovery process.

It costs a lot of money to rehabilitate a single patient. The money spent, however, pales in comparison when you think about the brilliant job you end up doing for the good men and women who serve our nation. The establishment owes much of its success to the charitable deeds of regular citizens who donate to their worthy causes.
