Keller Army Community Hospital's Maj. Brian Johnston and, his wife, Kaymie, graduated from 'Peer-to-Peer Training for Veterans with PTSD and/or TBI,' during a Monday ceremony at the Rockland Independent Living Center, New City, N.Y.

New York State Sen. William J. Larkin, Jr., present Maj. Johnston and Kaymie with their certificates and a letter of appreciation.

The Peer-2-Peer mission is to assist the Veteran to reduce or eliminate the negative impact that trauma-related symptoms have on social, occupational and family functioning. Peer-2-Peer members assist the Veteran to return to his/her level of psychological functioning that existed prior to exposure to trauma.

The peer counseling services are available to all veterans -- whether separated, retired or serving.

The mission of the Rockland Independent Living Center is to provide advocacy and leadership in the creation and development of an accessible and integrated community for people with disabilities, so that they may pursue lifestyles of their choice.
