Healing the Invisible Wounds of War Through Creativity
Since 1971, Heal Vets has been providing therapeutic craft kits to veterans and active duty military. Arts and crafts are a time-tested healing tool for PTSD, depression, anxiety, and can help relieve pain, improve mobility and fine motor skills.
At its core, Help Heal Veterans (Heal Vets) empowers veterans to heal the invisible wounds of war through creativity, connection, and purpose. Through therapeutic craft kits and community-driven programs, we support veterans navigating physical injuries, PTSD, and isolation while offering more than a kit and a path forward. Our work restores dignity, builds resilience, and reminds every veteran they are seen, valued, and never forgotten.

🎨 Therapy Kit Tuesday
Look what Air Force Veteran Linda K. from Chicago created! 💙
Linda used her creativity to make this beautiful dream catcher, moccasins, and bowl cozy as a birthday gift for her sister. We love seeing how our Veterans take their kits and make something truly personal and meaningful.
Thank you, Linda, for sharing your creativity with us—and happy birthday to your sister! 🎂🎁
Creativity heals. ❤️🤍💙

Sometimes the best moments happen around a table. 💚
A little creativity, a few laughs, and time spent together can go a long way. That’s what our workshops are all about—giving Veterans a place to create, connect, and simply enjoy the moment.
At Heal Vets, we believe creativity can bring people together while helping heal the invisible wounds of war.
Happy Moment Monday! 🇺🇸🎨
