Overveiw
23rd Veteran is a groundbreaking transition program for veterans leaving the military and those who were never properly transitioned. Depression is common among our returning veterans with over 130,000 veteran suicides since 9/11. In 2012 it was estimated that 22 veterans a day are committing suicide. 23rd Veteran was created with that shocking statistic in mind.
A nonprofit organization headquartered in Minnesota, 23rd Veteran has developed a program to retrain our veterans’ brains to live happier, healthier, and more successfully in the civilian world. Utilizing brain science, evolutional theory, positive trigger re-association, and positive psychology, we help veterans transition to live more successful in the civilian world by providing an innovative reconditioning program. U.S. Congressman Rick Nolan has labeled this innovative treatment "Positive Reconditioning" in efforts to gain support through U.S. Legislation.
"Donating to 23rd Veteran is my chance to serve those who've sacrificed so much for me".
