Indigenous Healing Program Reduces PTSD in Veterans
A Native American-inspired ceremony, like those used to prepare warriors for return to village life, reduced symptoms of psychological trauma in a small group of veterans, researchers report in the April Journal of Counseling & Development. Arie T. Greenleaf and colleagues examined the impact of the nature-based Veterans Vision Fast program on five veterans over six weeks, finding significant improvements in measures of depression and post-traumatic stress disorder and in general well-being. Indigenous healing practices may offer new directions in treatment for counselors providing transition services to veterans.
