My Nonprofit Reviews

My 14 year old daughter recently developed one of the worst cases of PTSD the mental health professionals have dealt with. What we thought had been verbal bullying from a classmate at school turned out to be torture and rape over the period of a year. She never told us because she had been threatened with being killed and her family as well. In one month she went from being an honor roll student in advanced classes to disabled and in a perpetual state of terror, haunted by non-stop flashbacks. We tried everything, medication, inpatient, intensive outpatient, alternative treatments. And then came Beau- a beautiful German Shepherd that is helping her come to terms with the trauma and grounding her during the unbearable flashbacks. Guardian Angels picked him for her and for the first time in years, she is learning to live a "real" life, instead of one in a constant state of dissociation. They are everything they say they are and then some.
