Alternative healing for US veterans and their families

For Veterans and Families

Thank you for visiting Honor-a-Veteran.org. We offer a directory of practitioners who provide critical mind/body services to U.S. troops and their family members. If you are a member of a military family, you are in the right place. Honor a Veteran (HaV) focuses on the mind/body needs of military personnel and their families. We are offering a range of mind/body services in order to address a variety of needs for the individuals seeking services.

Our definition of “family” is quite broad and includes but is not limited to the following: spouses, children, parents, siblings, extended family members, and unmarried partners of members of the armed forces of the United States. We are offering our services to anyone who is or has been affected directly or indirectly (through a relationship with someone in the military) by the current conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.

We believe that most of those affected by these conflicts would not need the level of mind/body services they do now if not for the unusual and extreme circumstances within which they find themselves. Furthermore, many of those seeking services may not be familiar with many of the forms of mind/body therapy available today. Therefore, we recommend that practitioners describe their services in some detail for the benefit of those seeking assistance from them.

While the standard within the mind/body community is to meet with the client in the practitioner’s office, we recognize that this may not be feasible for some individuals seeking services from HaV. We encourage the use of telephone support in those situations where the individual is unable to meet in person with the practitioner. We understand that therapists and counselors will need to rely on their professional judgment to determine when such contact may be insufficient to meet the individual’s mind/body needs.


Expectations & Terms of Service

Expectations

Practitioners listed in our directory have generously agreed to provide at least one session of meaningful mind/body healing at no charge to you. A practitioner may work with one individual or you may see a series of visitors (clients). This depends will be at the discretion of the practitioner. Practitioners not taking new clients will have their "availability status" set to "full" (from "available") while they are working with an individual or family. This will prevent them from receiving requests from individuals if their time is filled.

The service practitioners provide will be conducted in their own office or on the phone. At this time we are not including internet support as part of our services.

Terms of Service

In order to receive free mind/body services, you, the visitor/client are responsible for contacting a practitioner in our directory. You may contact as many practitioners as you wish to find one you "click" with. Practitioners have graciously donated their time and expertise to assist you - please do not abuse them by booking multiple sessions with more than one practitioner. If a practitioner chooses to continue with you pro bono, that is his/her choice.

If you are suffering from a mental illness that exceeds the scope of practice, education, or experience of the mind/body practitioner with whom you have contracted for services, the mind/body practitioner may refer you to another competent practitioner or service.

Honor a Veteran specifically disclaims all warranties and liabilities regarding its directory members. Honor a Veteran does not prescreen or judge the efficacy of practitioners or their healing modalities. We expect practitioners to take all precautions to ensure that your relationship with them is a safe and successful one.
