The clinic has treated more than 300 patients, including survivors of the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando.<\/p>\n<p>Jim Rosengren\u2019s son, Josh, was one of those patients.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have a son who had pretty severe PTSD after two tours in Iraq who benefited from this clinic. It was important to me to find a way that I could help and give back,\u201d said Rosengren, a veteran who had a 23-year career with the Army.<\/p>\n<p>The Rosengrens\u2019 donation will establish an endowment for the clinic that will help ensure its continued operation and success, which was in jeopardy last year as startup grant money from the U.S. Department of Defense was near running out. Thanks to legislative and community support, the clinic has been able to continue treatments at no cost to patients.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe all know somebody who has been impacted by trauma. When I first met Jim I shared my dream of the clinic, and that we could alleviate that suffering,\u201d Beidel said. \u201cJim looked me in the eye and said \u2018I\u2019m going to give you money, but I also want to be your partner.\u2019 It really touched me that the Rosengrens vowed to give me so much more than financial support. That\u2019s what gets me choked up. They were the first to really believe in what we could do here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>RESTORES\u2019 treatment includes a three-week program that combines virtual reality and group therapy sessions on guilt, anger, resocialization, insomnia and more, and has found that 66 percent of people in the program no longer have PTSD, which is above the success rate of standard PTSD treatments.<\/p>\n<p>Others who spoke at the ceremony include Mike Morsberger, CEO of the UCF Foundation; Michael Johnson, dean of the UCF College of Sciences; Florida Rep. Carlos Guillermo Smith; Lt. Jeff Orrange of the Orlando Fire Department; and Ricardo Garcia, an Air Force veteran, all of whom praised the clinic and expressed their gratitude for its support and services<\/p>\n<p>To view photos from the event, <a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/s\/aHsmnrFwjy\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>To read the original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/today.ucf.edu\/restores-ptsd-clinic-renamed-honor-alum-1-million-donation\/\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Rachel Williams The PTSD clinic of UCF RESTORES has been renamed in honor of alumnus Jim Rosengren \u201881 and his wife Julia, who donated $1 million to the clinic.
