Stop Drug Addiction! Train a Coach!
Donation protected
My Mission: To end drug addiction, especially amongst veterans! I'm trying to get certified as a certified recovery coach, but the GI Bill and other benefits don't cover this training: NATIONALLY CERTIFIED RECOVERY COACH
You know veterans have a bad rep for drinking and using drugs. Much of that goes hand-in-hand with PTSD. Even vets not diagnosed with PTSD still turn drugs and alcohol to cope.
Help me help veterans by helping to pay for this training. With all that's going on in our country at the moment, we could use interventions that really work, couldn't we?
By investing in this, you'll help veterans get off drugs and alcohol, get those who are homeless or in danger of homelessness off the streets, learn to cope in the Civilian world, learn to reintegrate into society, help set & achieve goals, and help veterans communicate with family members.
"Studies show that there is a strong relationship between PTSD and SUD [Substance Abuse Disorder], in both civilian and military populations, as well as for both men and women...
More than 2 of 10 Veterans with PTSD also have SUD.
In the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, about 1 in 10 returning soldiers seen in VA have a problem with alcohol or other drugs."

Help me help us... full-time, all the time.
