Enjoy the companion video for Jane's Creative Living Podcast with Help Heal Veterans. Creativity is a powerful tool for healing, and the nonprofit Help Heal Veterans knows just how to harness it. In this episode, I chat with retired Navy Captain Joe McClain, CEO of Help Heal Veterans, and Dr. Keith Stuessi, a naval physician specializing in traumatic brain injuries. We dive into how therapeutic crafts for veterans are transforming the lives of injured veterans. active-duty military and their families.
We discuss the "invisible wounds" of war-PTSD, depression, and traumatic brain injuries. Help Heal Veterans goes beyond traditional medicine, offering therapeutic craft kits that enhance motor skills, concentration, and community. These kits reconnect veterans with their families and provide a healthy alternative to substance abuse.
The results are astounding! Craft therapy benefits 75% of veterans with traumatic brain injuries and 97% of those dealing with chronic pain. Captain McClain and Dr. Stuessi share inspiring stories of how simple crafts can pave the way for healing and growth.
