Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Website Launched

Week of January 22, 2007

Barbara Romberg, a psychologist with a private practice in Washington, D.C., has created a single website to link licensed counselors with U.S. troops affected by Post Traumatic Stress Disorder from serving Afghanistan and Iraq. So far, 120 providers have signed up on the Give an Hour website, agreeing to donate an hour of free care a week. Romberg said she hopes for 500 to 1,000 before launching the program in the spring. Those who join must agree to stay with Give an Hour for a least a year.
