Home as a Battlefield
Battlefield: Home details how those who fulfilled their mission come home only to find their personal battles are just beginning.
​
At home, far too many veterans and families find out the war isn’t over, and the difficulty of the reintegration process is often unanticipated and under-resourced.
​
The invisible wounds our military men and women bring back with them from battle can turn these former warriors against themselves.
​
Some wounds are visible and life-altering in their effect on the service member and their family. Other combat wounds are invisible—like PTSD and TBI—but affect the vet and their ability to reintegrate into their home life just as a physical wound does.
​
In past generations, society has barely recognized the difficulties combat veterans and their loved ones face as they attempt to reintegrate. But we don’t have to repeat the errors of the past when it comes to our veterans and the battlefield at home.
​
With greater understanding, compassion, and action we can provide a more welcoming and healing society for our combat vets.​
WORKSHOP
The Rapid Response Initiative
An interactive event designed to engage and empower community leaders to address the issues of trauma faced by many Veterans, families, and individuals in their own communities.
Trauma takes many forms—not only from the hidden wounds of war, but also from caregiving stress, isolation, and health challenges.
Families are often the first line of defense for those in crisis. Yet the reality is that many families lack the energy, time, or resources when urgent crisis care is needed. We must make accessing help easier, not harder, for those in need.
By working with local leaders and resources, our goal is to close the gap in care with a sense of urgency for all those affected by trauma.

“Battlefield: Home Rapid Response Initiative is extremely effective at helping local leadership and combat veterans learn to speak the same language…I can’t think of a better system to get both sides interacting together effectively.”
