Barris offers insights to PTSD for Richmond Hill Historical Society

Canadians serving in Afghanistan have exhibited many of the same PTSD symptoms their grandfathers did returning from the Second World War.

Following his “Vimy Ridge” talk at the Richmond Hill Historical Society last fall, Ted Barris has been invited for a return visit to speak about his most recent book, “Breaking the Silence: Veterans’ Untold Stories from the Great War to Afghanistan.” Audiences continue to show great interest in Barris’s research into the effects of post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and in particular its effects on Canadians returning from operations in Afghanistan. So, Ted will oblige by offering stories from his work in this sensitive area. Copies of his bestselling book will be available for purchase and autograph.

When: 7:30 p.m., Monday, November 19, 2012.

Where: Wallace Hall, Presbyterian Church, 10066 Yonge Street, Richmond Hill, Ontario.
