Healing the Invisible Wounds of War Through Creativity
Since 1971, Heal Vets has been providing therapeutic craft kits to veterans and active duty military. Arts and crafts are a time-tested healing tool for PTSD, depression, anxiety, and can help relieve pain, improve mobility and fine motor skills.
At its core, Help Heal Veterans (Heal Vets) empowers veterans to heal the invisible wounds of war through creativity, connection, and purpose. Through therapeutic craft kits and community-driven programs, we support veterans navigating physical injuries, PTSD, and isolation while offering more than a kit and a path forward. Our work restores dignity, builds resilience, and reminds every veteran they are seen, valued, and never forgotten.
