Operation Resource Arizona teamed up with Operation 22 - PTSD Awareness, the American Legion Department of Arizona, and Arizona Goldens, LLC to fund the training of two service dogs. These dogs will be trained for PTSD, physical tasks and stability.
(Pictured) Alvin and his puppy are incredibly grateful for the funding from Operation 22-PTSD Awareness on behalf of ORA. This veteran is able to train his dog to be the best service dog possible.
You can also make contributions directly to the specific programs we support below.
Operation 22-
PTSD Awareness
The mission is to increase awareness through music events and to raise funds to be distributed to the community organizations that provide assistance to Southern Arizona Military, Veterans, First Responders and Victims of Violent Crimes suffering from PTSD, Anxiety, Depression and Suicidal Ideations.
Music Therapy Program Helps Relieve PTSD Symptoms
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a debilitating mental health condition that is prevalent among combat Veterans. There are a number of treatment options for PTSD including psychotherapy, medication management, as well as alternative self-management approaches. Music therapy is one alternative self-management technique that showed positive results in a small pilot study.
Results showed a positive benefit in relieving PTSD symptoms as a result of the intervention. In addition, findings suggest that the music therapy was effective in reducing depression symptoms and improving health-related quality of life. Investigators are developing a multi-center study to test if their findings are generalizable to a larger and more diverse group of Veterans.
