Freedom Ranch hasn't added a story.
I am asking for your support so that I can pursue my passion for
helping my fellow Brothers- and Sisters-in-arms who are suffering with
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
(PTSD), Traumatic Brain Injury
(TBI) or both (comorbid). As a disabled veteran who
suffers with PTSD and TBI, I have
been able to identify the gaps in healthcare that exist within the DOD
and VA system, whereby Camp Freedom Ranch (CFR) will
provide a Holistic Integrative Veteran Family-Centered Care that will
cover those gaps. Visit: www.campfreedomranch.orgor www.facebook.com/CFR.org for more information.
The Odds:
22 Veterans a day commit suicide (1 every hour and 5
min), a veteran with TBI is 4x more likely to commit suicide
than one without, and veterans who return with PTSD
have a 90% divorce rate.
The Family/Primary Caregivers are the ones whom the
responsibility of taking care of their loved one often falls upon and
they do so without any training or assistance. They are thrown into a
stressful situation with little resources for helping their loved ones
recover. Not wanting to give up or abandon their wounded veteran, they
try to be compassionate, but have trouble convincing their counterpart
to open up and share the burden. The frustration builds up for the
couple and leave them with very little options for a healthy relationship.
At CFR, the focus is on Restoring, Equipping, Assisting,
and Preparing (REAP) wounded veterans to
better health through the HARRT Program and sustain
the transition to an actively engaged life within their community
after Service.HARRT stands for
Holistic (mind, body, spirit, and Cognitive Behavior
Therapy) treatment, Alternative practices that rely
on less prescription drugs,Residential (on-site) for
up to 180 days, Resiliency, and help
withTransitioning to veteran's new life, which
includes assistance with job placement.
The HARRT program includes Bio-Pyscho-Social Interventions along
with Professional Life Coaching, and Intimacy Therapy for Couples.
Participants engage in training, counseling, mentoring, and
physical activities to nurture & expand self-skills to transition
from CFR to home. Through the Warrior-to-Warrior Campfire (W2W-CF) and
Caregiver to Caregiver fireplace sharing, participants will be able to
form bonding and trust relationships with others who have similar experiences.
Your donation will allow 8 - 10 couples experience the HARRT
program to better mental health by helping couples better communicate,
be emphathetic of each others' needs, and create a long-term
sustaining support system among others who have shared experiences.
Please consider supporting our wounded veterans who sacrificed
their life and happiness to protect our country!
