Looking for support groups outside the VA

[Andyman73]

Hey all,

I’m looking for contact info for a women’s support group for ptsd. I believe they may be based in Oregon. One of their members reached out to me, a few years back, when I was dealing with my MST claim, to offer some support, as a fellow MST survivor. I am trying to help a Veteran who seriously needs a women’s combat ptsd support group. She has been given a lot of horrible mistreatment from the VA, mostly because she won’t “shut up and do what they say”. She told me that the chief of the VAMC MH department called the Vet Center she was using, and told them to no longer treat her or return her calls. She’s afraid to go public with this, for fear of retribution. 
 

Im asking here, because I think it was here, in Hadit, that the woman who reached out in support. I just don’t remember. If you are still here, or if any of you know of a women’s only group that sounds like the one I’m thinking of, please let me know. I’d really like to be able to connect that Veteran with that group. 
 

Thanks for your time. 
Semper Fi.

This chief of VAMC MH department needs to be reported.  They should "never" refuse Vets treatment or return their calls.  Did this CHIEF say "why"? 

You should not be in fear of retaliation.  This person got a 90 million dollar settlement:

I think you should "blow the whistle" on this chief, tho go here first, get advice and be prepared:
