I am glad to hear about the peer-to-peer mentoring. Back in the nineties, in Lebanon, post-traumatic stress debriefing was a new concept. After a period of six weeks of very intense shelling and attacks, we, as a unit, were offered PTSD. The person who gave the training was a chaplain but was not qualified and said we should say a decade of the rosary. We got a decade of the rosary, so I am glad to see things have moved on. It did us no harm but I do not know how effective it was.
