AVA has been a positive influence for me in my transition to civilian life. During my post military job search, which wasn’t going according to plan, AVA reached out to me to encourage and assist. After landing a post-retirement job, I wanted to help AVA give back to other Veterans transitioning to civilian life. AVA does a tremendous amount to mentor and assist Veterans.
I cannot thank AVA enough! I was digressing and slowly falling back into some of my old "bad habits" of fighting with PTSD symptoms that were debilitating. AVA didn't hesitate after I went to them! In just a few days after they reviewed my case, I was being prepped and completed my second SGB injection and hopefully my last, but I will take it again if I feel myself falling back into that hole!
Acadiana Veteran Alliance was selected as one of five national veteran service organizations to win the annual Fisher Service Award from Fisher House and Military Times Foundation. This prestigious award was presented for the work of the AVA Heal Program to reduce or eliminate post-traumatic stress in veterans using the SGB injection procedure. Click here to learn more.
