Hippie and a veteran

Educating and Empowering Veterans to use natural

& other alternative healing modalities

Gift

As a non profit that works with disabled Veterans on fixed incomes, we are aware of the exploitative prices Veterans are facing in the community and barriers that keep effective therapies out of reach. As we work to tear down those barriers and pave more accessible routes to healing, we also do what we can to cover therapies like Stellate Ganglion Blocks, Somatic Therapy, Culturally & Individually appropriate therapies, care packages with Acupressure Seeds, Herbal Ointments & Teas. If you would like to help us meet the needs of our community please think about making a donation to aid our efforts.

Gather

We know gathering with community can be lifesaving, healthy relationships & connection are vital to a successful healing plan. We work to uplift the countless groups, orgs, and communities supporting Veterans in healing. We also host mental health symposium's and other events that provide open public discussion on alternative mental health treatment. Sign up for our newsletter to stay up to date and connected with our community.

"As medics, we take our oaths, then a few good soldiers call us Doc, and that oath seals for life. As I see it the mental health crisis is actually a medical access crisis and its primarily affecting the people I swore to take care of. Our orders were to guard everything within the limits of our posts and quit our posts only when properly relieved. So until that relief is accessible, me and this organization will continue to stand guard, calling out to those who are ready and fighting beside our siblings in arms for the healing we all deserve"
