This is Tim

When Tim was little, he was in a bad car accident with his parents.

After the accident, Tim started to struggle in school and isolate himself from others.  He began to think that the accident was his fault

and maybe he deserved to be in the accident.  

Tim couldn't remember much from the accident, only the sound of the tires screeching and car horns blaring. 

Tim's parents became worried when he would start to have panic attacks and flashbacks of the accident when they were driving.

Tim's Parents took him to see a doctor, who diagnosed him with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or PTSD.

The doctor gave Tim some medication to help with the panic attacks and told them about a support group for children with PTSD. 

Tim meets with his support group twice a week, and has made friends with some of the kids there.  Spending time with other children has been a big help for Tim's PTSD.

Tim will always be nervous when he's in a car, but thanks to the support of his doctor, friends, and family, he has the ability to cope with the memory of the car crash.
