Global Recovery Inc
Support for U.S. veteran families living with PTSD, one small step at a time.
To provide comprehensive support, education and complementary wellness resources to U.S. veteran families affected by PTSD, with a special focus on spouses and children.
Why we exist
When a Veteran lives with post-traumatic stress, the whole household lives with it. Partners carry the day-to-day load. Children grow up reading moods before they can read books. Caregivers put their own health last. Most of the help that exists is designed for the Veteran alone.
Global Recovery Inc was founded to fill that gap. We focus on the spouses, partners and children of U.S. Veterans, and we work alongside the licensed clinicians, VA programs and community organizations that families already rely on. We do not replace professional care. We help families find it, understand it and keep going between appointments.
Our mission
To provide comprehensive support, education and complementary wellness resources to U.S. veteran families affected by PTSD, with a special focus on spouses and children.

Founder
Carol Lombard Clark
Carol has traveled around the world twice, to 18 countries and 30 U.S. states, filming her own journey and interviewing men and women who served in war and civilians who lived through it. From that work came the 12 Precepts of Recovery, registered with the Library of Congress, and the four-path method this site is built on.

Our YouTube channel shares chapters from the documentary Caroline’s Poster and interviews with Veterans and families. Each story is one more reminder that nobody has to work through this alone.
