PTG Group Quarterly Update
We ask all PTG groups to submit a brief quarterly update so we can confirm the group is still active, keep meeting information current, understand how the group is doing, and identify any support needs.
These updates help us maintain an accurate directory and support the long-term health and sustainability of each PTG group.
PTG Group Flyer Generator
The PTG Flyer Generator is a simple, ready-to-use tool designed to create professional flyers for Posttraumatic Growth Groups. It keeps the core message, design, and disclaimer consistent while allowing group leaders to quickly customize only the essential meeting information, including meeting details, location, day/time, and contact information.
It is important to note that PTG groups operate as an independent community initiative. While BTI Consulting Services, Boulder Crest Foundation, and supporting organizations may provide free support, website space, and consultation to help advance the mission, the groups themselves are independent, community-based, volunteer-driven, and centered on serving veterans and first responders. PTG Groups should only be led by individuals who have read and are familiar with the PTG Group Manual provided on this page. These materials are provided as guidance only and no liability is assumed for operation of any local group.
BTI Consulting Service is a Certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) committed to evidence-based consulting and training.
