PTSD Peer Support Groups
You don’t have to face PTSD alone. Our VA Northern California support groups offer a safe, welcoming place for Veterans to connect, share, and heal together. Join us to find understanding and support from those who’ve been there.
You Are Not Alone
Living with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can feel isolating, but you don’t have to face it alone.
VA Northern California Health Care System offers PTSD Peer Support Groups for Veterans from all eras who are living with PTSD. These groups provide a welcoming, confidential environment where Veterans can connect with others who understand their experiences, share coping strategies, and find support.
Connect. Share. Heal.
Peer support groups provide an opportunity to:
- Share experiences and coping strategies
- Build connections with other Veterans
- Learn from peers who understand
- Participate at your own comfort level — you are welcome to share or simply listen
You do not have to participate beyond your comfort level. Whether you are ready to share your experiences or prefer to listen and learn from others, you are welcome.
