Camaradarie based events: this category represents the staple of our programs and provides group based mental health and fitness events for combat veteran population, including but not limited to golf outings, gym memberships, exercise programs and dinners.our agency has concluded that the solutions to veteran suicide crisis center around a renewed sense of belonging, brotherhood, comaradarie and finally purpose. Our commaradaire based events assist in fostering a renewed sense of purpose while also demonstrating measurable efficacy in reducing anxiety, depression, pain and ptsd symptoms. Each of these are risk factors of suicide.
