Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) consumed Josh’s life until he reached out to VA for support. An Army Veteran and former IED hunter in Iraq, he says, “Anytime I passed any trash on the side of the road, my body instantly would freeze up.”

One of his treatments through VA was a therapy known as prolonged exposure. Veterans who decide to engage in this treatment find that gradually approaching trauma-related memories, feelings and situations that they have been avoiding results in significant reductions in PTSD symptoms.

“It really worked for me. It let me know the past was the past,” says Josh. “You don’t have to let it control your life.”

Veterans enrolled in VA health care have access to high-quality mental health services, including inpatient and outpatient care for PTSD, depression, readjustment, substance use disorders, military sexual trauma and more.

“The VA helps train you in ways to get out and live your life,” says Josh.

EGMONT Institute: Extremist Offender Management in Belgium

Extremist Offender Management in Belgium By Thomas Renard (27 July 2020) In Other publications EU strategy and foreign policy, Middle-East / North Africa, Terrorism The presence of terrorist convicts in prison is not a new phenomenon in Belgium. However, radicalisation or recruitment was less visible, or at least less observed until it became a policy priority to monitor violent extremists in prison in 2015. This chapter, which is part of a broader report, analyses the specific policies and tools that have been developed in Belgium to address the challenge of radicalisation in prison, and the rehabilitation of terrorist offenders after their release. This chapter (view the PDF below) was published as part of the report “Extremist Offender Management in Europe: Country Reports” published by ICSR, and available here .
