Full Description
Healing the Military targets the current health crisis within our Armed Forces and Veteran communities. Demands on the military grow; so does their pain. The Department of Veterans Affairs cites 22 veteran suicides daily. Active-duty service members and their families struggle while performing the balancing act between supporting an ever expanding military mission and being part of a military force that is cut-back and rarely understood by the civilian world. Who cares? Alexandra Roach does. She writes from a heartfelt perspective and captivates the reader with personal accounts every military member can relate to. These stories provide the backdrop that supports her proposal of incorporating integrative health practices to strengthen active duty and veteran personnel, and their families. Healing the Military supports insight on how individuals can take control of their health and suggests solutions for depression, PTSD, and chronic pain. From micro to macro - if each individual is physically and emotionally strong, the entire military will be too. This creates tomorrow's power for our nation. It produces healthy members of society while minimizing the strain on an already overloaded health care system.NER(01): GB US
