Camp Hero
Camp Hero is a planned veterans transitional living environment designed specifically to support the residency needs of veterans who are engaged in PTSD recovery. The goal is to create the first living environment farm to serve as a model for other organizations to follow.

Camp Hero will be a place where returning heroes can call home for 3-12 months during their transition back to civilian life.   Read more...

 

Family Education
One of the great needs identified in our resent research is family education. With the family of military veterans being a primary, long term support ally, providing families with instruction, advice, and counsel on how to "be there" for their veteran is critical.

Family education can take many forms. In person group, in person one-on-one, telephonic, online video chat, online text chat, and online video library. Each format has its strengths and weaknesses. AHR is committed to testing each modality to establish a best-practices and effectiveness rating of each. In any case, the result will be additional resources to prepare families to care for their wounded or PTSD recovering veteran. Read more...

Video Education
The old saying that a picture speaks a thousand words applies equally to video. In this advanced time of Internet technologies, using videos on line has become practical, both in terms of technology and cost. Videos provide an additional cognitive understanding angle that can't be achieved by text articles alone. And videos can be viewed by the entire family together.

Whether the video is being utilized by a care taker, family member, the public for understanding, or the veteran who is working through his or her PTSD recovery, the experience of actually watching and hearing other veterans and family members share their experience and expertise brings a sense of reality for recover and hope for the future. And since the videos or video links can be shared via email, the community awareness factor added to the direct veteran benefit is tremendous.  Read more...
