SUMMARY:More Than One Story: An Arts Program for Women & Nonbinary Military & Veterans
DESCRIPTION:Join Mission Belonging for a virtual orientation to learn more about our program for women and non-binary military (Active Duty and Veterans)\, More Than One Story (MTOS.) This monthly program uses live\, interactive online art and creative writing workshops held over several weeks to create a “Virtual Community Center” where women and non-binary military members can gather and experience belonging in a healthy\, safe\, and connected environment. \nThere are almost 2 million women Veterans living in the United States today\, and over 400\,000 currently serving in the military. There’s less information about non-binary Veterans and military members\, but research suggests that gender diverse individuals are twice as likely to serve in the military. \nMission Belonging’s innovative methodology and programs have been tested and refined over twelve years and have been demonstrated to be an effective creative arts intervention for those struggling with the symptoms of PTSD to include substance misuse and suicidal behaviors. Designed in partnership with volunteers\, military clinical personnel\, community organizations\, and VSOs\, these workshops and community events are effective for Veterans wherever they are along their healing journey. \n\nLearn More
