Prime Weld recently created a guide for returning
service members on choosing a career in the trades.
It includes advice on how to transfer skills learned in service to a new career,
which skilled trades are in high demand and the average salaries of those
careers, tips on transitioning back into civilian life, as well as trade school
and training resources for veterans and their employers. The guide can be found
here:

About 8 million adults experience PTSD every
year, and roughly 8% of the U.S. population will experience PTSD within their
lifetimes. After noticing you included some great resources about coping with
and treating ptsd on your site, I wanted to share My Slumber Yard’s guide on How
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Affects Sleep here:
https://myslumberyard.com/sleep/ptsd-and-sleep/
Our resource was not only vetted and created
with guidance from a licensed nurse practitioner, but to support those
struggling with the impacts of PTSD on sleep, we made a point of including:
A breakdown of strategies people living with PTSD can use to get quality sleep
faster.
A review of national resources for PTSD mental health assistance.
Guidance for friends and family on supporting a loved one living with PTSD.
