Preferred PTSD Resource Status

Synergy Foundation, with its proprietary trauma model and tools (SES and M-MATRIX), has been selected as the preferred mental health supplier of the SS American Foundation, which is currently undergoing major development and expansion of its active duty military and veteran recreational rehabilitation ranch in Seguin,Texas. (Some of you may remember seeing SS American Founder/Director Craig Russel featured some time ago on the cover of VFW Magazine for operating one of only a few ranches of its kind in the United States.) Prior to the beginning of the new construction work, our Synergy founder enjoyed visiting with participants at a day long event there for 500 active duty military medical personnel and their families. They were there to relax and recharge their batteries. Good stuff.     

Parent Book

We have a new book for parents in the works! It gives tips for 10 things parents can/should do when their child has been exposed to pornography, which all will be at some point. The book draws from current research and wisdom gained from real life cases. It's short and written in simple language, an easy read, a useful reference manual, and will be a great gift for yourself or someone you care about. We hope it will stimulate coversation and mutual support among parents. You aren't alone! (Meanwhile, please consider bringing our guest speaker to your organization to present the ten tips!)

Report Cards!

While we usually don't publicly name individuals or institutions who work with us on sensitive subjects, we can share their survey feedback.

1. Recently, 100% of parents, men and women attending an educational presentation given at their child's high school on the subject of porn and sexual addiction, reported that it was personally useful to them. Interestingly, many reported that it was also professionally useful to them!

2. Of approximately 100 high school teachers, counselors, coaches, and other staff and faculty who received a day of training from us on the subject of porn and sexual addction, all but three reported that it was useful to them on the job. Two of the three who didn't immediately find it professionally relevant in their positions, did report that it was useful to them in their personal life. Universal benefits!
