HEALING WARRIORS PROGRAM EXISTS TO INTERRUPT THE FACTORS THAT LEAD TO VETERAN SUICIDES. WE WERE ESTABLISHED IN 2012 TO HELP SAVE VETERAN'S LIVES. SOME WOUNDS AREN'T VISIBLE. DEPRESSION, TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY (TBI), POST TRAUMATIC STRESS (PTS), SLEEP DISORDERS, PAIN, AND INTERPERSONAL TRAUMA ARE AMONG THE LEADING CAUSES THAT LEAD TO VETERAN SUICIDES. CONVENTIONAL TREATMENTS USING NARCOTIC MEDICATIONS ONLY ADDS TO THAT LIKELIHOOD. BY USING NON-NARCOTIC THERAPIES THAT SUPPORT RELIEF FROM PAIN, IMPROVED SLEEP AND FOCUS, ALLEVIATION OF ANXIETY AND STRESS, THE SERVICE MEMBER IS ABLE TO FIND RESTORATION FOR THEIR QUALITY OF LIFE, AND ABLE TO STRENGTHEN THEIR ROLE IN THEIR COMMUNITIES AND CAREERS. OUR MISSION TO PROVIDE NON-NARCOTIC TREATMENT TO ADVANCE INDIVIDUAL WELL-BEING FOR VETERANS AND THEIR FAMILIES THROUGH EVIDENCE-BASED INTEGRATIVE CARE SERVICES IS KEY FOR OUR SERVICE MEMBERS AND THEIR FAMILIES WHO NEED HELP WITH THE BURDEN OF INJURY. IN 2020, DUE TO THE COVID PANDEMIC, HEALING WARRIORS PROGRAM PIVOTED OUR MODEL TO PROVIDE TELEHEALTH CLINIC SESSIONS. WE DID THIS BY 1) PURCHASING A HIPAA-COMPLIANT TELEHEALTH PORTAL, AND 2) MAILING CLINIC SUPPLIES TO VETERANS PRIOR TO THEIR APPOINTMENTS SO THAT THE VETERAN AND THEIR PROVIDER COULD WORK TOGETHER TO RELIEVE PAIN, CALM ANXIETY AND IMPROVE SLEEP. SINCE HEALING WARRIORS PROGRAM IS CATEGORIZED AS A LIMITED MEDICAL FACILITY, WE WERE ONLY CLOSED FROM MARCH 18TH TO MAY 3RD, REOPENING OUR DOORS FOR IN- PERSON CARE ON MAY 4TH. WE REMAINED OPEN THROUGHOUT 2020. HEALING WARRIORS PROGRAM HAS PROVIDED OVER 20,000 NO COST AND LOW COST NON-OPIOID PAIN AND TRAUMA CLINIC SESSIONS BETWEEN OUR FORT COLLINS CLINIC AND MONTHLY POP UP CLINICS IN DENVER, LONGMONT AND COLORADO SPRINGS AS WELL AS ACTIVE DUTY CLINICS ON POSTS ACROSS COLORADO TREATING OVER 2,000 SERVICE MEMBERS AND THEIR SPOUSES, PARTNERS AND PARENTS. WE PROVIDE 6 FREE TREATMENT SESSIONS, OUTREACH, EDUCATION, CARE PACKAGES FOR OUR SENIOR MEMBERS AT RISK, SENIOR SAFETY & WELLNESS PROGRAM, YELLOW RIBBON CAMPAIGN, PARTICIPATION IN STAND DOWN EVENTS FOR THE HOMELESS VETERANS AND MORE.
