Thank you for your willingness to fill out our survey while we research an upcoming film project on non-combat PTSD among US military Veterans. You may fill this survey anonymously or provide contact information if you're willing to be contacted in the future if our team would like to ask additional questions.
By filling this survey out, you in no way are volunteering to nor expected to participate in our documentary film. Our aim is to collect helpful information and personal accounts of non-combat trauma to better understand the various cases different military veterans experiences to find our focus.
We are uniquely interested in hearing from BIPOC, women, and LGBTQIA+ veterans who are from or live in the Southeast.
Examples of Non-Combat Trauma/PTSD
- Experiencing hazing or physical assault during military service
- Experiencing racism, sexism, religious bias, or other prejudice
- Being the victim of military sexual assault or harassment while in the military
- Losing a fellow service member to suicide
- Extreme burnout from work stress or management styles
- Duty in a burn ward or mortuary
- Experienced targeted or intentional use of military regulations and bureaucracy in retaliatory way to harm or end your career. I.E., not merit or performance based punishment.
- Experiencing (or witnessing) car accidents, aircraft crashes, or sinking ships
- Witnessing a traumatic event while on active duty
- Witnessing injury or death, not due to the enemy
- Training accidents
This list isn’t all-inclusive, if you have a events or cases of trauma you consider to have caused you non-combat PTSD, please share.
Thank you for sharing your personal story. What you share may help other Veterans realize they are not alone, seek out medical help or support from friends, family, Veteran groups, and help educate the public in the diversity of experiences our military veterans experience while serving their country that is often overlooked in pop culture, media/news cycles, books, film, TV series both fiction and non-fiction.
From one Veteran to another, we take care of our own.
