"The Body Keeps the Score"
Trauma Workbook Course
In "The Body Keeps the Score," Bessel van der Kolk, a renowned psychiatrist, author, and leading researcher in traumatic stress, explores how trauma physically alters the body and brain. Through compelling scientific research, he demonstrates how innovative treatments can open new paths to recovery by harnessing the brain's natural neuroplasticity. This book delves into the often-hidden epidemic of trauma, revealing insights from over 30 years of research.
Van der Kolk emphasizes the profound impact of RELATIONSHIPS & COMMUNITY in causing and healing trauma, offering renewed optimism for those seeking to reclaim their lives.

Join the Community
Supporting an active military member, veteran, or first responder can be challenging for family members, loved ones, and caregivers. Often, essential mental health and wellness tools are lacking or provided too late, leading to a difficult journey once trauma is recognized. The stigma surrounding mental health and PTSD adds another layer of complexity. What do you do as a family member of someone who is at high risk of developing PTSD, or is living with PTSD currently?

Join Victory Bridge Foundation's Resilience & Recovery Club, where we bridge the gap by offering a supportive community that welcomes you at any stage of your journey. We provide resources, a sense of family and camaraderie, and valuable knowledge to help you navigate challenges. When you join the community, you join hands with other heroes, unsung heroes, and advocates to raise a collective voice for mental health and wellness not just for our families, but for the entire community of Active-Duty Military, Veterans, First Responders, & their Families.
