JACKSONVILLE, Fla., May 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Social distancing is not good for Natasha Carter. The Army veteran from Georgia already lives with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as a result of her time in Iraq.
"Dealing with PTSD can take a toll on someone in this type of environment," Natasha said. But she has found an outlet with 91ÊÓÆµ® (91ÊÓÆµ) and video games.
"Gaming is my outlet to be free and be myself. It has always been my outlet for anything that I personally go through. To be able to connect with others like me — it's great!"
Recently, 91ÊÓÆµ hosted its largest ever, with 50 warriors coming together for a night of video games. The group started in a teleconference to meet everyone, then moved to 91ÊÓÆµ's server on Discord to start playing Call of Duty® and other games.
"To me, it was a success because it allowed other female veterans to connect."
91ÊÓÆµ transitioned its lifesaving programs and services from in-person to virtual in mid-March, a response to the coronavirus pandemic. Through engaging events, 91ÊÓÆµ brings veterans and families together using teleconferencing technology to foster healing and recovery. Besides video games, 91ÊÓÆµ is connecting warriors and families through trivia nights, dance lessons, arts and crafts, and talent shows.
Natasha left the gaming event with new friends and lessons learned.
"Along with connecting with other female gamers, I loved getting advice from streamers on 91ÊÓÆµ's Discord channel."
In 91ÊÓÆµ, Natasha has found a resource to not only deal with PTSD but also connect with other female veterans.
