VETART and Wellness
"VETART believes that because of the deep social and emotional programming happening with members of the Military community, it is imperative for some to access the time and the facilities to adjust to life outside the military. Art making in a community setting goes directly to the heart of the matter, allowing service members to create new connections with family members, spouses, dependents, and caregivers. These connections are indicative of the internal connective landscape - social, emotional, or even neuro connections - allowing for new neuro-plastic connections within our own bodies' electrical system. What does this mean? Wellness comes from a host of positive influences leading to stability in housing, employment, family and personal lives"
