MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS
Undersea Warriors serves Veterans living with service-connected Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Chronic Adjustment Disorder (CAD), Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Anxiety, Depression and/or Military Sexual Trauma (MST).
We are divers, not doctors. We will not try to explain these conditions or tell you how to treat them. What we can do is point you to the people who can. Below you will find trusted sources of information, help lines that answer day and night, and organizations that stand up for Veterans.
WHERE UNDERSEA WARRIORS FITS IN
Blue Therapy is recreational therapy. It works alongside professional care, not in place of it. If getting in the water with people who understand sounds right for you, we would be honored to have you.
