With the understanding that healing after war is a long-term process, Welcome Back Veterans (http://www.welcomebackveterans.org), founded by Major League Baseball Charities, the nonprofit McCormick Foundation, and the charitable Entertainment Industry Foundation, was created to “inspire Americans to reach out and help our returning veterans and their families.”
Welcome Back Veterans offers resources on PTSD, including an overview and related statistics, a detailed symptoms list, treatment information, support group names and phone numbers, and a reading list of books on PTSD, all vetted by the organization.
Highlighted veteran stories are posted in the Latest News, which are also accessible via e-mail sign-ups and RSS feeds. A robust list of family resources is available, as well as many inspiring active-duty military personnel and veteran videos.
In addition to the online resources provided for free on the website, Welcome Back Veterans is funding programs at various institutions throughout the U.S. The McCormick Foundation donation page may be accessed directly through
the homepage of Welcome Back Veterans.
