An OPP officer from Chatham is hoping to help others by sharing his experiences with PTSD.
Brian Knowler is launching his book “On the Other Side of Broken” this Thursday at the Chatham-Kent Public Library.
Knowler says his journey began in 2004.
“And the book basically details how over the next seven years or so I slid further and further into what I eventually found out to be PTSD,” says Knowler. “I ended up isolating myself from friends and family. I was in a very bad spot where I was in this bubble where I wasn’t letting anybody in I wasn’t sharing with anybody. I was using alcohol to cope on a regular basis.”
Tomorrow’s book launch at the Chatham Library will feature a book signing, live read, Q&A and meet and greet. It’s free and open to the public and gets underway at 5:30.
