Declaring War on PTSD
Sobriety is the first step in effectively treating PTSD, so we are building the first all-military sober home for veterans with PTSD
Why our mission is critical
Veteran sobriety is the #1 barrier to successfully treating PTSD. The VA confirms that most PTSD sufferers abuse drugs and alcohol, so we created Bravo Zulu House here in Southern Minnesota. Bravo Zulu House is THE FIRST, all-military sober home exclusively focused on the unique sober housing needs of our veterans suffering from PTSD.
Bravo Zulu House has partnered with Veteran Organizations – American Legion, VFW, and Disabled American Veterans (DAV) of Minnesota. Our Advisory Board Chairman, Jack Zimmerman, a Purple Heart recipient, helps ensure we are meeting and exceeding the needs of our veterans in every aspect of our planning and execution.
Bravo Zulu House will be managed by the nation’s leading sober home provider: Trinity Sober Homes. Trinity provides a unique environment that results in 71% of residents remaining sober one year after treatment. That’s nearly 50% higher than other programs.
Funding Needed to Build Facilities to Restore our Veterans
We’re raising $1.2 million to do the following:
ADA Compliant Home with lift and wheelchair accessible rooms
World-Class Kennel for a Canine Therapy Program
Hydroponic Farming Operation for sustainability and dignified jobs
Van for transportation to jobs, meetings, medical appointments, etc.
