The goal of Vet to Vet is to provide a platform to help Veterans reacclimate make into society, To have meeting to bring vet’s together to talk about things like stress, anxiety, hypertension, trust, avoidance, trauma reminders: anniversaries, fireworks, triggers, survivors guilt, and sleep are a few.
Vet to Vet was not designed to take away from medical providers or therapist, but to assist. “Empathy not Sympathy”. The primary mission of North Vernon Vet to Vet is to aid veterans and their families as they strive to build better lives. To fully restore the Warrior Spirit by bridging the gap between those who serve and those for whom they served.
We need your continuing support to help us provide this platform to both our veterans and their families by directing family members of support.
