The Triumph Program: Overcoming PTSD

by Melanie Davis

The Triumph Program is a process which helps veterans evolve as they work through the tragedies and losses they have suffered and gradually look forward, finding purpose in life, setting goals, and exploring who they can serve with the abilities they have gained as a result of their military-experiences.The Triumph Program is designed to help veterans recognize their heroism and the continued value of their military service. It contains seven sections made up of writing, reading, creative expression and other activities. This program helps the veterans view their experiences from a new angle, with the perspective of a researcher which allows them the space to explore the depth of their war experience and its potential for bringing good into the world. The Triumph Program helps our heroes put past horrors on paper, work through the anger, survivors guilt and fear that PTSD brings and find purpose and meaning in the experience of war as they write their extremely important stories for the benefit of our nation as well as their brothers and sisters in arms. It is also a great resource for peer-to-peer mentoring as they work in small groups with a veteran facilitator who has been through the program previously.
