Cherissa JacksonCaptain Cherissa Jackson is a retired Air Force Nurse with 14 years of nursing experience. She has served 23 years and survived 4 deployments - 3 to combat hospitals. She is a SHERO United Ambassador and a Hall of Famer for her efforts to help women eterans. Her passion to motivate, inspire and encourage has led her to be an advocate for Post-Traumatic Stress soldiers and their families. In 2015, Captain Jackson launched PTSfaces, a global platform that brings awareness to the treatment and the treatment options for PTS Veterans. This online one stop shop provides support groups, partnerships, medial teams, webinars, survival stories, and other resources to any veterans looking for support and assistance with coping with PTS. PTSFaces was created from Captain Jackson's own experiences as a survivor of PTSD and the stories of other Veterans challenged with their condition. Four tours of duty in some of the worst war zones required Captain Jackson to compartmentalize her emotions. Re-bandaging charred bodies as she inhaled the smell of burned skin and watching injured soldiers with amputated limbs emerge from helicopters were a part of her daily work. After the bombing in Afghanistan of her building in 2011, which caused her to live in fear for six months, Captain Jackson ultimately retired. When she returned, she was haunted by the memories from her deployments and suffered from increased anxiety. Soon after, Captain Jackson was diagnosed with PTSD. With a few months on prescribed medication, continued exercise, and her will to conquer PTSD, Captain Jackson stands today as a PTS Survivor ready to help her fellow Veterans combat PTSD. Passionate about helping others and determined to make a difference, helping other war veterans overcome the challenge and the stigma of PTSD has become Cherissa Jackson's new legacy and mission. Captain Jackson is also the CEO of Jackson & Associates Legal Nurse Consultants and is a proud mother of 2 beautiful twin daughters. Captain Jackson has been featured various media outlets including Forbes, Prevention Magazine, The Washington Post, The Daily Record, and the Examiner. Read More Read Less
