The
Combat Veterans AnswerRing
is a unique self-help device for
Veterans. With every use by the
Veteran, the AnswerRing identifies
problems, provides recommendations
for dealing with these problems,
and encourages communication
between the Vet and others about
getting help. The Combat
Veterans AnswerRing focuses on
real problems experienced by many
combat Vets and provides
educational advice on how to
resolve these problems in a
straightforward, private manner.
The device has over 117,000
combinations of situations and
feelings frequently experienced by
post-combat Veterans, making it
easy to find one’s own, clearly
described situation in only a few
minutes. These situations are
serious, yet the AnswerRing
engages the user and makes using
it fun.

|
| Every
situation described on the front of the
Combat Veterans AnswerRing is
matched to a specific recommendation that is
custom-tailored on the back. So, the
recommendation for your particular situation
instantly appears when you flip the device
over. |

|
| EASY TO USE, JUST
FOLLOW THE STEPS |
| |
 |
Step
1: Identify the
main issue you have been dealing
with since you got back from war. Do
this by moving the four numbered
tabs around the Ring until the
proper sentence for your situation
is displayed in the four windows on
the front of the AnswerRing. |
|
|
|
| |
|
 |
Step
2: Flip the
AnswerRing over, and read the
sentence that appears in the windows
on the back. This is the AnswerRing’s
suggestion for how to start dealing
with your issue. If you feel there
may be danger involved in using the
AnswerRing, get appropriate
professional help before continuing
to Step 3. |
|
|
|
 |
Step
3: You can
consider the AnswerRing’s suggestion
on your own, or you can show the
front and back sentences to your
partner or another person, if
appropriate. Judge for yourself how
the suggestions may apply. The
AnswerRing is educational, not
therapeutic. This means that the
device provides education such as
suggestions for where to go and what
resources are out there to help, but
it is not intended to provide
therapy. For therapy, you need to go
to the appropriate professional. |

Step
4: Remember
that the primary goal of the
AnswerRing is to help you understand
that your problems are shared by
many Vets, and that there is direct
help available to you, no matter how
simple or complicated you think your
problem is. |
