Military Trauma Recovery Course - Reboot
Begins September 4th at 7:00 - 8:30 PM at Veterans Chapel in Morton PA
There are 22 Veterans who commit suicide daily; The Military Reboot Course exists to mitigate this statistic. - Help spread the word.
Veterans can register by going to: www.RebootRecovery.com/military and select the course which begins on September 4th in Morton, PA.
This is a FREE 12-week Reboot Program – Trauma Healing for Warriors. Military REBOOT is a course – not a support group. It provides practical help for service members and veterans dealing with the moral and spiritual wounds from service-related trauma. You won’t find shortcuts or easy answers, but instead you will find solutions that last. The program will be held at Veterans Chapel, 211 Morton Ave. in Morton, PA on Thursdays from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. once a week for 12 weeks.
