About This Cause
Retired Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell’s #1 New York Times bestseller, Lone Survivor, tells the story of his teammate’s strength and dedication to each other and to their country during ORW, a mission to gather intelligence on Taliban leadership in Afghanistan. Marcus was the only survivor of this 2005 mission. Though he was badly injured in the ambush that claimed the lives of his team, he survived until American forces rescued him six days later. Marcus Luttrell’s Texas ranch was the center of his post-combat recovery. It was there that he learned that effective healing can require more than the standard government treatment plan of talk therapy and medication. He wanted other military families to have the opportunity to step out of their daily routines and come to a place of peace; a place where they could obtain tools for healing while being surrounded by other people who understand them. Marcus founded Lone Survivor Foundation in 2010 to provide that opportunity while honoring the warriors that gave their lives in service to our country in ORW. How Lone Survivor Foundation Helps: Post-traumatic Stress Disorder, Chronic Pain, and Traumatic Brain Injury are all “invisible” on the surface. However, these are very real conditions that are plaguing our veterans and, if not properly treated, can reduce quality of life at best and become debilitating at worst. Additionally, these injuries affect the whole family, often causing Caregiver Stress and secondary PTSD for significant others and children. Due to the complexity of these wounds, their emotional implications, and the unique needs of combat veterans, not all individuals respond to the standard government treatment plan of talk therapy and medication. Lone Survivor Foundation understands trauma. We know what therapeutic tools work and why. It is our mission to guide veterans and their families towards a path of healing from combat trauma through a series of no-cost Post-Traumatic Growth Programs. The Lone Survivor Foundation Program: Program sessions that take place in a relaxing, military-friendly environment. We use therapeutic tools that focus on restoring the mind, body and spirit of combat veterans who live with symptoms of PTSD, mTBI, and chronic pain. We include the veterans’ significant others and their children in our program to strengthen and guide the whole family unit. We use therapeutic tools focusing on relief from the symptoms of invisible wounds. Our participants experience Accelerated Resolution Therapy, Trauma-Informed Yoga, Group Educational Classes, Creative Arts, Alpha-Stim, and more. Together we build a plan for continued recovery once they return home.
