Committed to Healing the Invisible Wounds of War

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) have become the signature injury of the most recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. As a community, it is imperative that we identify these injuries and address them immediately. A single loss of consciousness results in organic brain injury and, untreated, is the most expensive medical condition in our society.

Project Recoil Objectives

To raise awareness to mental health injuries of members and veterans of the United States Armed Services.
To help combat veterans and their peers identify symptoms of PTSD, TBI, combat stress, and depression.
To raise awareness to alternatives to pharmaceutical drugs, such as Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), Acupuncture, Chiropractics, Energy Psychology, and various other forms of alternative medicine.
To offer peer counseling and mentorship to veterans returning to civilian life.
