Description

CLAY NATIONAL GUARD CENTER, Marietta, Ga., Aug. 15, 2011 – Former first lady Rosalynn Carter spent about an hour this morning talking with Georgia National Guard leaders about a possible partnership in a program designed to help the caregivers of wounded warriors better deal with problems associated with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).

Gen. Maria L. Britt, Georgia Army Guard Commander; former First Lady Rosalynn Carter; Brig. Gen. Larry Dudney, director of the Ga. DoD Joint Staff; Air Guard Col. Dan Zachman, State Family Program director; Air Guard Lt. Col. Elizabeth Harris-Lamkin, the state chaplain; and Col. Paul Antonio, Georgia Army Guard senior behavioral health officer.

During Mrs. Carter’s visit, she outlined how the Problem Solving Training (PST) for Caregivers program – funded by her organization – is designed to educate caregivers in the treatment of wounded warriors suffering from PTSD or TBI through “in-home, tailored caregiver support intervention.” The program also helps caregivers “solve unique problems of immediate concern to each caregiver.”

"It was an honor to meet with forner First Lady, Rosalynn Carter and discuss a topic that is near to my heart, building resiliency in our military families," Britt said. "The RCI has asked to partner with the Georgia Guard as the main effort for piloting a program that reaches out to caregivers of soldiers with TBI, PTSD or both in the Columbus area. It's one more way to show our families that we care.

"We have many families that have sacrificed so much and are still suffering," she added. "I look forward to seeing this pilot program adopted and offered statewide so that we can help more families."
