FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1 HELP HOSPITALIZED VETERANS' PRIMARY MISSION IS TO ENRICH THE LIVES OF VETERANS AND MILITARY PERSONNEL. HEALING ARTS AND CRAFTS PROVIDE A THERAPEUTIC EXPERIENCE FOR ALL VETERANS INCLUDING THOSE WHO ARE HOSPITALIZED, IN SHELTERS, IN CONVALESCENT HOMES AND THOSE UNDERGOING THERAPY FOR A WIDE RANGE OF PHYSICAL AND MENTAL CHALLENGES. 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.
