This is a free mental health app with supportive information, resources, tools, and services as well as a built in community. I developed the app so that everyone could have access to free help. In the US alone we have approximately 28 million uninsured who have limited or no access to mental health supports.

We hope Mission: Fit app and the Warrior Wellness community will help support your healing journey and help you manage your energy more effectively.

Mission: Fit app can be found in the Apple App Store and Google Play Stores.

Mindfulness meditation for veterans: actually helpful or a woo-woo idea being peddled to you as a cure all for the stress of life? When you’ve spent any part of your professional career in the military, “calm” isn’t exactly a word you’d use to describe your time in service for most people.

Veterans Yoga Project is on a mission to support recovery and resilience among veterans, military families, and communities.

VYP began when Dr. Daniel J. Libby was working as a Postdoctoral Fellow with the Yale University Department of Psychiatry at the West Haven VA Medical Center, Connecticut.

While providing psychotherapy for veterans recovering from PTS(D), he found that those who developed empowering self-regulating practices had better outcomes — they moved through post-traumatic stress to post-traumatic growth more quickly and gracefully.
