Veterans are good men and women. Veterans of war
are required to make spontaneous decisions that may
have life-or-death consequences in an environment of
intense fear. It is important that the veteran understand
that he or she made the best decision possible given
the information he or she had and the circumstances
under which he or she found him or herself.
War and military service impact veterans.
Veterans who have gone to war have been impacted
by the negative experiences of war. These experiences
may influence current behaviors and ways of thinking.
Some veterans struggle with painful memories and self-blame
while others miss the close relationships that were
formed or the structure and self-discipline that the
military provided.
Resolving pain and finding meaning
in the experience restores health. Our group is
founded on the belief that in a safe and trustworthy
environment, veterans can and will begin to resolve
their painful war experiences and the natural loss associated
with transitioning environments.
This system works. Our group is
based on the proven vets4vets
model and we offer Mary
Ellen Copeland's Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP)
to individual consumers as a voluntary exercise toward
wellness and recovery. While our first group is targeted
to OIF/OEF veterans, active military, all era veterans
and their families are invited to our meetings click
