In November, Evanston marketing company dvMail will shut down our marketing business and devote one week to raise awareness of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and the free therapies available to treat it. 

We're producing a fund-raising documentary for Trauma and Resiliency Resources, a 501-3(c) charity,  at their Warrior Camp in New Hampshire.  Therapists with TRR have been treating New York first responders since the towers fell on 9/11.

We are proud to partner with TRR to provide that help. We would appreciate it if you would consider writing about our mission.
