our residential programs will run in full compliance with local bylaws, procedures, and best practices regarding covid/vaccinations.

The online version of the program Covers the same basic educational components. It is 11 sessions usually run on Mondays and Thursdays from 10 AM to 1 PM.

Our next zoom program starts December 9 and runs Mondays and Thursdays till January 20

both learn to live programs cover topics such as support network management, su***de prevention, basic education, various coping skills , lifestyle management, medications, addictions, therapies available, including the therapist code of conduct.

support network management teaches participants how to communicate in a stigma free way. it also encourages real-time checkins and identifying current state of arousal.

basic education teaches how to be aware of how ptsd manifests in the body and how it affects your ability to function. By knowing this we can take active steps to ensure the symptoms do not prevail.

the segment on medications explains the various pharmaceutical intended uses and side effects. further, cannabis is also explained, demystified , and destigmatized. participants are able to have a more learned conversation with their HCP

the subject of addictions is explained. the various programs and modes are explained 12 step vs harm reduction.

various coping skills are demonstrated throughout. participants can utilize and the new skills which seem to work for them into their routine.

On Wednesday evenings Valhalla hosts a PTSD support meeting. This is a weekly drop in and serves to normalize the ptsd experience and the surrounding turmoil.

Lifestyle changes are structured to ensure success. We encourage small consistent changes and habits to gain confidence in your ability to handle situations.

The residential program has segments on food preparation throughout the week. Further, fitness, including martial arts , is encouraged as well as morning yoga.

We have a variety of speakers on the above topics.

There is NO trauma processing during our sessions. This is NOT group therapy.

This program is meant to go along with your current, in place , therapy. we are not replacing your therapist.

Participants in the cohort will also be exposed to various positive physical activities that they may find helpful. These activities can include, but are not limited to , yoga, equine exsposure, goats and goat yoga, stained glass, archery, beekeeping, music, arts, paddling boarding and martial arts.

The key goal of this program is to have the basic management tools in place to control PTSD and prevent su***de in our affected members.

The costs for this program have been covered by third party donations and there is no charge to attend. The only barrier to treatment is stigma.

beyond the learn to live program we provide strong peer support to our members in the form of positive social activities.

Our programs instill hope and a practical,informed method to manage their ptsd on a daily basis.

we are actively accepting referrals for upcoming intakes
