At least 20% of veterans have PTSD or depression and more than 50% do not seek treatment for their condition. Consequently,
rates of divorce for PTSD patients are two times greater than Veterans without PTSD. Over 260,000 veterans have been diagnosed
with a traumatic brain injury and there are over 50,000 homeless veterans. More than 1 in 3 women veterans experienced in-service
sexual assault and suffer with PTSD. On average, 22 veterans a day commit suicide.
We fight to improve the lives of veterans and their families by providing the following:
Peer support network and retreats
Resources that make life better
Holistic care and coaching
Assessments for how real life affects the body
