Regular connection, shared struggle, and teamwork are the antidotes to isolation.Challenge heals. Voluntary hardship — like rowing across an ocean — gives structure, meaning, and confidence back to veterans.Long-term > one-off. Sustainable healing requires time, commitment, and purpose, not just weekend retreats.Leadership never stops. Veterans have the power to lead again — in families, communities, and the broader mental-health movement.
