Education
We feature an outreach program very willing to speak to any interested groups and organizations about:
- Veterans' reintegration issues including PTSD
- How we as a community need to heal together from the effects of the ongoing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan
- How a veteran's return affects their families and loved ones; and what would be helpful for these families.
- We are also interested in showing the film, The Ground Truth, a powerful and moving documentary made by and about veterans of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. We would follow these showings with both discussions and healing work.

Support
We offer direct support for families and close friends of veterans including listening, forming a support group, and individual counseling.
