C. L. Fontaine

C. Fontaine was a professional educator for over forty years and is also a mom of a son with PTSD. In her endeavor to better understand she did extensive research on PTSD. Later, she took on a new role as a volunteer administrator for several on line web sites, including PTSD Projects Caregiver Group and Love Our Vets-PTSD Family Support. She soon recognized the challenge of explaining PTSD to young children and the necessity for a tool to help parents and educators to do so. Using her knowledge of young children combined with that of PTSD, she created Sam's Story; a book to help adults explain to children that PSTD is not their fault and that they are loved.
