This weekend we had the grand privilege of being part of a Veterans Wellness Conference, helping introduce alternative therapies for PTSD to veterans, their families, and clinicians who work with military veterans every day. The team from the Fort Bliss Restoration and Resilience program came with their top-notch therapists working in Reiki, massage, acupuncture and movement therapies - and all enjoyed an amazing presentation by Army Col. Lillis-Hearne about scientific studies supporting the benefits of yoga.
The need to help veterans heal cannot be overstated. Many returning from Iraq and Afghanistan are suffering greatly - and some veterans of earlier wars are just beginning to seek alternative treatments, to great impact. There is much more to come and we will keep you informed of our efforts.
