IBPA, the Independent Book Publishers Association, recently honored the best books in 50 categories at the Benjamin Franklin Awards\u2122 in New York City on May 24, 2010, prior to the BookExpo America tradeshow. Welcome Them Home Help Them Heal<\/em><\/strong> <\/a>won first place in the Religion category.

It provides a wealth of resources: agencies that serve veterans, tips for making effective referrals, quick screening tools for PTSD, depression, and traumatic brain injury, and a comprehensive Wounds of War assessment. The Ben Franklin Award recognized that Welcome Them Home Help Them Heal <\/em>was the most successful book in achieving its purpose and meeting its audience\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n
