Nashville, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) — A locally based non-profit committed to military members, first responders, and their families will host a 12-week course in partnership with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Tennessee Valley Healthcare System (TVHS) chaplains are offering a REBOOT Combat Recovery course beginning September 5. The 12-week trauma healing course will be held at the VA TVHS Nashville campus at 1310 24th Ave. S from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Thursdays. Each evening will begin with dinner provided by a community partner.

The course incorporates spirituality as an element of combat recovery. It provides practical help for Veterans and their family members who are dealing with the after effects of combat.

A published study in Military Psychology links REBOOT Combat Recovery with improved mental, physical and social well-being. TVHS chaplains encourage the participation of spouses and loved ones because trauma impacts the entire family.

“The REBOOT mission fits right into what we do at TVHS,” said George Adams, TVHS clinical chaplain. “These meetings and the relationships they foster are incredibly helpful to healing Veterans’ families and restoring community.”

For more information or to register contact George Adams at 615-873-8067 or george.adams2@va.gov. Veterans can also register for this free REBOOT event by going to www.rebootrecovery.com.
