my kid, has severe ptsd. unless we can heal the wounds. it's not just on the streets of sunnydale. >> yes. the family, what makes up a family, parents children. ultimately, we have to also deal with our families who have their children who are placed with these acronyms over their head that follows them all through their lives. when working with the child. not only are we working with the families and their friends and the places they go before they get home. so the ultimate thing is building that family unit. i was going to run to that. life goes on. we all have a duty not just to the child. but to the family. because the child comes from a family and most the children that we're working with. the families are broken. the homes are broken. so they lived through this years and years. the parents have lived through broken families. >> i do want to say, we have to start with the kids. the kids are actually bring the parents. when the programs are working, then when you put on an event, the kid says, you have to go to this. if you don't come,

my partner has ptsd from bedbugs. there are ways of preventing them from getting on your bed it by putting [unintelligible] that prevents them from crawling up the bed, but they will crawl up the walls and drops themselves down on the bed if you have a ways from preventing them from getting up on the bed. dph or sfhot said to me, too bad, deal with it yourself. the problem is also with dph, having these master tenants and then reporting to themselves of their own infestation problems. thank you. supervisor kim: if you would not mind e-mail in me the youtube video, thank you. >> i live in a six-unit building on nob hill. about one year ago, a neighbor hill and i started getting bitten. you can imagine why. we notified our landlord three different times by three different means and he did not respond. under the wise tutelage of the housing rights committee, i wrote him a certified letter which made him very angry. i forgot to mention that we spent hundreds of dollars trying to eradicate the problem of our own because we

i did not know i was suffering ptsd. i still have nightmares about joe lundowski molesting... having sex with me. i get up sweating, angry, feel like i could hurt somebody. i never meaned to get angry at my children, but the anger went on my children, also. >> i know it's hard, packy, and i'm sorry that all of that has happened to you and your kids. >> i keep asking for help. nobody's been listening to me for a long time. >> go ahead, tommy. >> ( sobbing ) >> it wasn't your fault. it wasn't your fault. >> it's almost like a universal pain, and it runs very deep. if jesus were to come to the village, i have no doubt in my mind that he would be crying. he would cry. you know, it's hard to see your own people hurting so much when you know that there's so much strength and beauty. >> the only way that this thing is going to go away is people starting to forgive each other and forgive the catholic church. >> trahant: for almost eight years, the survivors in st. michael have been waiting for an apology from bishop donald kettl

with severe ptsd. as he tried to cope with life he slipped into a spiral of self-destructive behavior that destroyed his chances for employment. he sought help and new directions a nonprofit. after years of hard work and help from new directions he now has steady employment at the los angeles county museum of art but he is only tidal bas able to af apartment because of the help. we receive tens of thousands of johns and janes who come home every month and veterans assistance program allows veterans the freedom to put their lives together after facing the horrors of war. after all we ask people like john to sacrifice for us when they go overseas we cannot in good conscience turn our backs on them when they return home. veterans have sacrificed so much that we live free and we must make good on the promise to take care of them when they return home. the chart that you see lists is an example of four members in their districts and number of resources that are affidavit in their districts. i now yield one

and we're finding that some of these drone pilots actually have combat stress, and ptsd, even, just likeunits physically deployed into iraq and afghanistan. >> dretzin: there is no question that, as time goes by, more and more of our real experiences are shifting into the virtual realm. the pace can sometimes feel dizzying. >> this is a mirror. >> oh, it's cool. >> you know, there were people who complained when we moved from horses to cars, there were people who complained when we moved from letters to the telephone. and its not that they're wrong, totally, because things get lost. so, you might have less memory, we don't have as flowery writing. but we gain other things, and life moves on. >> dretzin: that it will change us is not in doubt, but how we will change may still be up to us. >> technology challenges us to assert our human values, which means that, first of all, we have to figure out what they are. that's not so easy. technology isn't good or bad. it's powerful and it's complicated. take advantage of what it can do. learn what it can do. but also ask what is it doing to us? w

"the new york times" says the next step on the agenda is the debt. guest: a lot of things do not have to happen in washington. the democrats never passed a budget in 2010. that is why in the last couple of days, we were finishing the 2011 budget. there is the explosion of spending and debt that hit in 2008, 2009, and 2010. it is pushing us up to the legal limit of the amount of debt the united states can have. between may and july, we will have to vote to allow that to go up. the republicans are asking for reforms in return for casting the vote. the president would like to raise the limit without passing reforms. host: "the washington post" service to give it a rest. can we have an adult convers

and then, also, this guy that called in about something similar to ptsd, i'm a disabled vietnam combat veteran, so i'm very familiar with that. and whites that are mostly in denial about what african-americans go through in america because of the hundreds of years of slavery. well, that's actually true. it really is true. we here in tulsa, matter of fact, one of the colleges, tulsa community colleges, had -- you probably heard of ron daniels. he was here on one of the lectures about race. at tulsa community college. he recently passed away. >> guest: yes, i know. >> host: hey, david, can you -- why don't you wrap this up, okay? >> caller: okay, i will, peter. well, we actually had tim wise, dr. shelley tushak that is, start add group in california. she's a pa -- a doctor there, a ph.d.. allies, whites that are allies to blacks working with them having a understanding, having an understanding of what african-americans go through and getting out of their denial. >> host: all right, david, we're going to have to leave it there. let's see if ishmael reed has any comment. thank you for call

sustained like a closed head trauma or brain injury and they're just now beginning to deal with the ptsdll of that, so there's i don't think any time soon they're going to be returning to any type of work so obviously there's lost wages, and then some of them have had surgeries and mental anguish and there's just so much, ma'am, that they've gone through this year, it's really been very, very sad. i would like to say something on their behalf. the 11 families that are missing their family members, as bad as these fellows are, they wanted me to make sure and say that those families are suffering and they recognize that. >> it is a horrible tragedy all arou around especially as we learn what the past year has been like. brent we realize you're suffering from amnesia. are you getting the help you need? >> yes, ma'am. i'm pretty sure -- go ahead. >> no, that's fine. i just wanted to say unfortunately we have to let you go but we'd like to continue to follow your progress and stay in touch and learn about how you're handling this and how folks are helping you through it. thank you all for bei

you can categorize this guy he has ptsd so he can't deal with people.s guy became an alcoholic while he was a vet and he's still an alcoholic. >> reporter: now president obama has set a goal to eliminate the problem of homeless veterans by 2015. experts say about 90 to 95% of homeless vets could be moved off the streets. most agree the president's goal is especially difficult during tough budget times and massive cuts. one successful government program that might not receive additional funds in the current budget is a housing program for homeless vets that offers vouchers for long term affordable housing hat a third of their income. congress has appropriated $75 million a year for the vouchers. now there is set to be a huge battle in congress over whether more money is needed this year and whether enough veterans are taking advantage of the program. >> the president's request had adequate funding for this fiscal year for in total about 30,000 vouchers, 19,000 of those vouchers have been used. there are still about 11,000 available. >> reporter: now that

look at the literature post vietnam, a book about this is achilles in vietnam, a study of ptsd and et cetera effects, and we have learned a lot, but i think we're still in the studying phase, and that's an area we need to continue learning more about. >> thank you. in the brief time i have left, i'd like to ask you regarding the security cooperation that you lead with israel as a corner stone of the relationship in ways that are both large and small, how the phase adaptive approach concerning missile defense will be executed with regard to israel's security and israel's contribution to protecting europe. >> sir, we enjoy, as you know, an extremely robust broad spectrum relationship with israel, but our particular work in missile defense is quite strong. we have a whole series of exercises that we do. i had the chance to go little over a year ago and see one of the major deployments of this phase adaptive approach set up in and around israel. we keep ships that are engaged in that network. i'm very confident that that's an area where we have learned a lot, and that we are then going to

. >> another problem -- and we face this both with tdi and ptsd and the market is small. it's not like hypertension and commercial development here -- we really have to encourage people and to give you another example, the upper arm prosthesis is not -- upper arm injuries now are not very common except in battle. unfortunately, darpa and us took this on as a problem; otherwise, it wouldn't have happened. and i think, you know, it's been mentioned with markets with genomics and small markets for various rare diseases. but even some reasonably common but not gigantically common things, i think that's a problem. so the government has to do a lot of this. and, you know, we don't have enough money to do all of it. but i think it's going to be important? can i make one more? just in general, i think basically because some horrible things happened, there's been a divide between research and clinical care. and the research subject and the patient. now, with databases, coverage with evidence and we're working on point of care research where people remain in the health care system
