NAAV - "Managing Stress and Anxiety Through Guided Imagery Training"
In 2006 and 2007, the National Association of American Veterans, Inc. (NAAV) sponsored, with the assistance of the Walter Reed Army Medical Center's Equal Employment Opportunity Office, Diversity/Outreach Program, "Managing Stress and Anxiety Through Guided Imagery" by Diane L. Tusek, R.N., Director and Founder of Guided Imagery, Inc. Ms. Tusek has been featured on CNN, NBC, ABC, and the Today Show for her Guided Imagery Program at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation. This program also provided training for the medical team at the Armed Forces Retirement Home, Washington, D.C.

Guided Imagery is a relaxation technique used to ease stress and anxiety during a stressful or difficult time in someone's life. This technique is also used for those suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and traumatic brain injury. Guided Imagery, a simple, yet powerful intervention, is increasingly being used to enhance the quality of one's life and to improve patient outcomes in health care settings. In addition, we recommend Guided Imagery for the caregiver for adults with chronic, disabling health conditions.
