Heal moral injury, restore hope

“My recent experience on a retreat sponsored by the American Warriors Association was highly positive. The itinerary included horseback riding, hiking, and valuable opportunities for camaraderie with fellow veterans. The setting was the expansive 36,000-acre Rankin Ranch, which provided a memorable backdrop for the activities. I wholeheartedly recommend these faith-based retreats to anyone who can participate. The central theme of the retreat was the importance of faith in God.” Bob McAndrew, Vet to Vet Tennessee Repairs for Heroes Chairman.

We recommend you visit the America Warrior Association website – https://www.awa-usa.org/

AWA empowers service members, veterans, first responders and their families to overcome moral injury through faith-based healing, research-driven solutions, and leadership development. Together, we build resilience and restore hope for America’s heroes. The program is FREE!

Another example of faith being fundamental foundation for healing and recovery. God bless America.

The VA Integrative Mental Health (IMH) Video Training Series aims to support care providers in their efforts to collaboratively address spiritual and psychosocial needs, build communities of care, nurture integrative practices, and sustain systems of wholistic care. The first in a series of three Bridging Videos from our program addresses the need to consider including spiritual care providers as part of the treatment team to provide holistic, patient-centered care. This video explores the rationale for integrating mental health and chaplain services, presents research findings in the domains of religion, spirituality, and health, and highlights cautionary considerations for interpreting and applying these findings.

Many are aware that many Veterans seek healing through faith, and we are seeking to utilize a network of VMFCs to reach those wounded Veterans. We ask you to develop a Veteran ministry within your congregation. We are currently operating in 26 states and expanding daily.

VMFC bootcamps are held on the 3rd Thursday of every three months. Register here.

As a result of the outstanding success of our “Operation Military Masterpiece” initiative at Brown Middle School in Sweetwater, TN, we have developed a new program, “Ethos Student Art (ESA).” The program is available to middle and high schools in Monroe County and the surrounding Counties. Dr. Amber Patty co-developed the ESA program with Vet to Vet TN. It is preferred to have an art teacher teach the class. Click here to view the lesson plan. VTVT will sponsor the class. Helps us teach the kids to have fun and learn about honor, respect, duty, and service.
