WE CAN STOP THIS.
Our mission is to raise awareness and encourage support for the men and women who are suffering due to the sacrifices they made on our behalf. Combat and trauma occurred in the line of duty is just the beginning. Healing from those incidents is the true Battle of the Brave.
Post Traumatic Stress (PTS) is destroying our men and women from the inside out. There is a cost for meeting the enemy face to face, for moving in the direction of gunfire, for arriving at the scene of a tragedy and being responsible for trying to save lives.
The wounds are unseen, at least until these men and women become a statistic. Another warrior taking their life, as we stand there shocked, grieving and wondering why.
We can stop this.
CreatiVets’ mission is to provide combat disabled veterans with the opportunity to use art, music, and creative writing to address the psychological and emotional needs that arise from combat-related trauma.
Our goal is to empower veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress and traumatic brain injury with tools they can use for the rest of their lives to combat stress, depression and other side effects of war.
The Battle Within provides a five-day program for our nation's warriors to come together and begin the healing process. Each warrior is offered the opportunity to discover their traumatic injuries, begin to face those burdens head on, and develop a toolset of holistic evidence-based skills along with a community of support to begin their journey of healing.
