Whether you are a military member or a first responder, coming home is a lot more complicated than most people think.
Many people have asked me, "How do I get the old me back?" Said, you can't. The old you is in the past, and today you are dealing with a different you. It's not bad, it's just different. The objective is to learn how the new you works and learn how to embrace it in your new life.
Operation Reboot helps veterans and first responders who are trying to manage PTSD. We do this working individuals or small to mid-sized groups. We offer unique activities to facilitate free-flowing conversations, ranging from surface-level discussions to deeper talks about the challenges of living with PTSD. We aim to help veterans navigate through the confusion and find ways to cope with PTSD. A person does not lose their memories of the special people they have served with, but we show them ways to manage their feelings in more positive ways.
We are not licensed therapists, but we are individuals who can relate and understand through firsthand experiences. As a team, we aim to help our veterans with the challenges they face by providing unique experiences or activities that facilitate easier conversation. Some of our events do have therapists present; however, they work with us passively.
What activities are these? They are unique and memorable. Some of these activities include making maple syrup, making spirits with a still, cooking with a well-known chef, writing personal songs with famous pop artists, Surfcasting, Fly Fishing, and more. Most of our activities are accompanied by an illustrator who visually documents the experience through caricature drawings for our veterans to take home.
Sadly, the suicide rate of veterans who experience PTSD is around 13%. Your support can directly impact this number.
