Volunteers Needed for PTSD Research Study If you served in Iraq or Afghanistan, you may be eligible to participate in a new study focusing on PTSD treatment. Veteran Affairs (VA) seeks participants with trauma exposure related to combat experience for a 9 week research study involving exposure therapy (Virtual Reality or Imaginal Exposure) in combination with either a low dose of D-Cycloserine (DCS) or a sugar pill placebo to be taken once a week during exposure sessions. Participants will be allowed to test new intervention therapies for free, and all non-active military personnel will receive compensation for post-treatment assessments. Active duty military will select a charity to which their compensation money will be donated. Contact: Veteran Affairs (VA) - Long Beach Healthcare System 562-826-5784.

Dr. Reist addresses a collection of VA mental Health providers at our lunch meeting to get the word out about the work we are doing in research to help vets with PTSD.

For some insight into what we are doing to help our vets, check out the link to our Therapist's interview on uproxx.com http://uproxx.com/life/bravemind-virtual-reality/
