Does anyone know a website for helping children with Post Tramatic Stress Disorder?

Question

My step daughter was just diagnosed with PTSD yesterday. It has to do with some tramatic experiences at her biological mother's home. I'm desperately looking for a good site that will give me ideas on how to help her. She is in Therapy but my husband and I want to help her as best as we can. Thank you!

or for a live chat room use www.realmentalhealth.com - they are good

Answer 2

Talk to her therapist, and consider seeing a therapist yourselves for some counseling on how to best help.  That would be more meaningful than reading the Internet, not that gathering other info isn't a good idea.

Answer 3

Here is the government site for PTSD:   http://www.ncptsd.va.gov/ncmain/ncdocs/f...

Here is another site:  www.ptsdsupport.net/child.html

Another great site is www.psychcentral.com

Hope these help, if you want more let me know.
