Soldier's Heart Visit us on the Web
SH was founded by Dr. Edward Tick & Kate Dahlstedt, MA
Their mission is to transform the emotional, moral, and spiritual wounds that often result from war and military service and they have developed a proven holistic, community-based, spiritual method of healing that goes beyond conventional treatment methods.
SH has guided FYS toward understanding the importance of the "Honored Warrior Identity" in the veteran's path home and the shared responsibility civilians have regarding the "reciprocal, social contract between warrior, citizen and nation."
