COMBAT OUTPOST ROBINSON INC

We are an all volunteer organization made up of board members from across Ohio. We have made it our mission to work together in helping 9/11 Combat Veterans suffering with the invisible wounds of war known as PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) and/or TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) and their caregivers confront these difficulties and regain their lives. We hope to raise awareness and to reduce the number of Combat Veteran suicides here in Ohio.
My oldest son, SGT. James C. Robinson, Jr., was K.I.A. on August 28, 2010 fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan. This organization is dedicated to his memory and to the veterans we serve. We want to pay it forward to these Ohio Combat Veterans by assisting them with their education about PTSD and TBI and by helping them re-acclimate into the civilian world.
We strive to achieve our mission by hosting educational retreats and support group outings for these Veterans and their caregivers. When the education is applied, it can help the veterans and caregivers recognize and manage the behavioral signs resulting from stress triggers. In the event of tense situations, veterans and their caregivers will then be better equipped to understand how to communicate vital information regarding PTSD and TBI to healthcare providers, medics or law enforcement personnel.
