Our mission is to create a safe space for the education, advocacy, and empowerment of alternative therapies for veterans and their families. We partner with professionals, businesses, and other organizations to support veterans and their families in living a better more balanced life. Balanced Veterans Network provides education in order to empower veterans with transitioning after service on the use of alternative therapies in hopes of combating the opioid and suicide and homelessness epidemics that plague our community. Current medical research has proven that alternative therapies are capable of treating mental health issues in the Veteran community such as PTSD, anxiety, depression, and chronic pain. These issues are prevalent in the Veteran community which has currently been struggling to provide a viable long term solution. Balanced Veterans wholeheartedly believe that medication alone is not the answer but a healthy community, conversation, and holistic healing practices are vital in living a meaningful balanced life. The physical, mental, and emotional cost of the preservation of the United States, a burden carried by less than 10% of our nation's population. Those that have sacrificed so much deserve an opportunity to live a balanced and happy life. Balanced Veterans provides knowledge and training on the use of Medicinal cannabis as an alternative to using medications to treat alarmingly common issues among Veterans such as PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, and Chronic Pain. We wholeheartedly believe that Cannabis alone is not the answer but a healthy community, conversation, and holistic healing practices are vital in living a truly balanced life. There is a better way. You are not alone- welcome to change. Let's have a conversation and let's stay balanced together.
