On the Front Lines of Veteran Mental Health

“Some of the guys in my platoon have gone through your program and their lives are totally changed because of it. I’m proud to support everything you guys are doing after hearing their experience.”

“…We are forever grateful. It’s not easy like you said, but we continue to put in the work with the tools VETS provides us.”

“Daily, I battled with depression, suicidal thoughts, lack of motivation, vertigo and many other TBI-related ailments… For the first time, I could clearly see my life and the decisions that brought me to this moment in time. For the first time in my life, my heart opened.”

“…Living with someone damaged by decades of war holds its own trauma for those who have to watch it happening in real time…Having him start on his own healing created massive change in our family and marriage, and handed him the tools to create the life that he wants for himself. Additionally, I am truly grateful that I was able to participate as a spouse. It created an environment where I could confront my past, make changes for my future, and learn how to live in the present. It’s not magic, it’s you, and this therapy lets you meet the you you’ve always wanted to be.”

“I served 25 years in the Army, 18 of which were in Special Operations. I suffered from symptoms related to TBI, including anxiety, depression and fits of rage… My head is clearer and I have a sense of purpose again. I cannot explain in words the positive change VETS has had on me and more importantly my family.”

“I was a miserable ticking time bomb before last weekend. My family was afraid of me for so many years and now… [now] they’re looking at me like I’m from Mars because I’m just all about love.”

“Simply put: there isn’t another organization out there like VETS.”

“Thank you Marcus & Amber, and the team at VETS…you’re right, ‘peace is possible’. After 20+ years of progressively escalating battle with myself, your team made it possible for me and my family to find the peace that had eluded us until now. I can’t thank you enough! I thank God for you and the work you’re doing to end veteran suicide.”

“Part of his identity was missing. One of the greatest things about VETS is restoring the brotherhood. So many of the guys are feeling the same pain, so having one of my teammates to lean on has been life-changing. The medicine was the start of this amazing healing journey.”
