Our holistic approach allowed Mike to get not only the answers and insight he needed to better understand his brain and his body, but also the tools and resources to heal and move forward to live his best life today.

Following his father’s example of service, when Mark decided to lace up his boots and join the military to focus on combat medicine. His time serving in Afghanistan exposed him to the realities of combat, leading him into a pattern of internalizing his emotions, strained relationships, burnout and, ultimately, an attempt to take his own life. At his lowest point, Mark knew he needed to seek professional help. A friend made the introduction to Boot Campaign and his healing journey began. Mark shares that his experience through the Health & Wellness Program “set the tone for the rest of my life.” The individualized approach to understanding and treating his mental, physical and emotional wounds is why he is living a full, happy and healthy life today. With your support, more Veterans like Mark will get the tools and treatment they need and so deserve.

As a medevac helicopter pilot, Bill’s job in the U.S. Army felt like a “double-edged sword.” Each rescue mission meant someone else was suffering, leading to an imbalance of emotions - from highly gratifying to extremely stressful, especially when lives were lost. Bill retired following a helicopter crash that injured both his brain and body. With more time on his hands in retirement, Bill experienced intrusive thoughts and began struggling with chronic pain in a way that affected his life and relationships. Our Boot Campaign Health & Wellness team created a holistic care plan just for him. With your support, more Veterans like Bill will get the tools and treatment they need and so deserve.

When Bobby was first introduced to demolitions in the U.S. Army, he and his teammates thought the blast waves felt “cool.” Even when he started noticing mental and physical effects that the explosive charges had made on his body - from headaches to unexplained anger and irritability - he would put on his “clown face” to hide from his symptoms. Bobby’s individualized care plan through Boot Campaign’s Health & Wellness Program was tailored to his needs and symptoms, and it's why he shares that he is still here today. With your support, more Veterans like Bobby will get the tools and treatment they need and so deserve.

Steve needed purpose and structure, and he found them both in his 30-year career with the U.S. Marine Corps. He deployed many times as an Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Technician, but when Steve retired and his life slowed down, he began to feel the weight of his experiences. From grief over lost teammates to unprocessed trauma, that load became too much to carry on his own. Steve reached out to Boot Campaign, worked through his individualized care plan and now shares how he is able to see a clear future ahead of him. With your support, more Veterans like Steve will get the tools and treatment they need and so deserve.
