Mental Health Professionals give back to U.S. Troops

'Give an Hour' is a United States nonprofit organization providing free mental health services to troops returning from Iraq and Afghanistan and their loved ones.
All the Mental Health Professionals volunteer their services.

Many of us have heard of the mental anguish returning soldiers and their families suffer as a result of the violence and distance caused by war. Give an Hour volunteers provide much needed counsel to troops and their families, helping them to reconnect and live successfully after years of warfare and seperation.

This issue is depicted in the upcoming movie Brothers.
