Neurofeedback treatment is changing the way we treat veterans suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Homecoming for Veterans is a new non-profit organization dedicated to providing neurofeedback treatment to military service members suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. The treatment is provided free-of-charge by participating clinicians on U.S. military bases and around the world.

Executive Director Pam Tarr calls Homecoming for Veterans a "grassroots" NGO. "We're helping people one person at a time, and it's due to the generosity of those involved," Tarr told The Mark. "What we would really like to see happen is a much broader acceptance of neurofeedback as an important tool in the remediation of PTSD symptoms."
