We are now on facebook. Come and join us.Veterans’ Families United Foundation has developed a Service Project Proposal for “The REST House” (Readjustment Environment and Service Transition).
This project is designed as a test/model that operates on the premise that PREVENTION and INTERVENTION for service members who present with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and other related mental health problems after they return from active duty, is more honoring, hope filled and ultimately more cost effective than a lifetime of disability.
The current project calls for a live-in environment (slated for Oklahoma City, OK) for a small population of returning psychologically challenged veterans. It includes a phased and heavily researched alternative approach to reintegrating back into society.
If you or a veteran family member are interested in knowing more about the project, please contact us.
All financial resources for this research based project are PRIVATE. If you are interested in contributing to this Service Project and/or would like a copy of the proposal to review, please contact us.
It is our philosophy that the legacy of war, untreated, continues to perpetuate disease in our homes, our communities and our country. Untreated trauma is pervasive and debilitating for our veterans and their family members. The development and implementation of The REST House can provide research that may propel us into a deeper understanding of the true cost of war and help create accessible, gentle and unbiased options for healing to our wounded warriors and their families.
