General Info
This Able Veteran is a service dog organization benefitting U.S. veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) along with a 3-week trauma resiliency program; provided at no cost to the veterans we serve. Our program is proven to help veterans with PTSD cope successfully with the symptoms of PTSD, including depression, nightmares and social anxiety. Our intensive Trauma Resiliency Program incorporates service dogs trained for our unique anxiety alert and nightmare interruption aids and coping skills to help them manage their PTSD symptoms. Our service dogs help them recognize the symptoms, often before the symptoms even begin. It's a way to get a handle on the problem, it's a way to open the door to manageable post-trauma life. Our PTSD Service Dog Trainer Academy will help put more specially trained service dogs into partnership with veterans suffering from PTSD.
