Men often express grief through active and cognitive grieving styles, which can be conducive to the opportunity to experience posttraumatic growth after loss. This program will have a specific focus on how veterans and military families can work towards posttraumatic growth and is appropriate for the bereaved and those who support them, including family members and friends.
