MANY VETERANS EXPERIENCE SYMPTOMS OF POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER (PTSD) AND/OR TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY (TBI), WHICH INCREASE THE RISK FOR DEPRESSION, PHYSICAL INJURIES, SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND SLEEP PROBLEMS. THE KITS, PROVIDED FREE OF CHARGE TO THE VETERAN, BECOME A PART OF THE PATIENT'S TREATMENT PLAN, GIVING THEM A CREATIVE OUTLET ALONG WITH TANGIBLE THERAPEUTIC AND REHABILITATION BENEFITS. THEY IMPROVE FINE MOTOR SKILLS, COGNITIVE FUNCTIONING, MEMORY IMPROVEMENT, ANGER ISSUES, AND DEXTERITY AS WELL AS DECREASE THE SEVERITY OF PTSD/TBI TRIGGERS INCLUDING ANXIETY, MEMORIES, SADNESS AND FRUSTRATION. WE WORK TO INVOLVE THE PUBLIC IN MEETING THIS MISSION THROUGH A BROAD EDUCATION OUTREACH PROGRAM.

THE LEATHER KITS TURN INTO LIFE-LONG KEEPSAKES THAT ALLOW VETERANS TO CREATE CRAFTS THEY ARE PROUD OF, THAT IMPROVE VETERANS' SELF-ESTEEM AND GIVE THEM A RENEWED ENERGY FOR HEALING FROM THEIR WOUNDS OF WAR. MAINTAINING OUR GOAL OF CREATING HIGH-QUALITY PRODUCTS WHILE PRODUCING THE LEAST ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT CANNOT BE ACHIEVED ALONE.
