[A day for families of military patients with post-traumatic stress disorder]

Abstract

The treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder is one of the priorities of the armed forces' health service, but there are few measures for families, who are nevertheless the first to be affected. At the Robert-Picqué army training hospital in Bordeaux, an information and exchange day for carers was set up in 2018. It takes place once every term. Here is a look at how it works, its benefits and its limitations.
