A CJ3 Foundation representative talks about the nonprofit organization and the resources provided.
Dave Thomas, representative for CJ3 Foundation, talks about how they focus on healing the physical, emotion, and spiritual health of U.S. military service members, veterans, law enforcement, and first responders.
Thomas explains the free services they offer.
“Our foundation has four major sections. We have the Advocacy program which we help veterans if they need to apply for assistance. If they need a wheelchair or a handicap van or something like that. We have the mental health and wellness program in Albia.” Dave Thomas, representative for CJ3 Foundation
Thomas continued.
“We have service dogs, certain people need a service dog. These service dogs are amazing for what they do for veterans. We have field [opportunities] we take them down to Georgia and they go hunting. We took a blind veteran hunting and he got his deer.” Dave Thomas, representative for CJ3 Foundation
Thomas explains the types of therapy. Individuals are encouraged to stay from Thursday afternoon to Tuesday morning.
“We offer talk therapy, neurofeedback which records brain waves without a shock, and several therapies that are non-invasive and work right away. On the second day veterans will comment they got the best sleep they’ve had in years.” Dave Thomas, representative for CJ3 Foundation
Thomas says they receive positive feedback from family members.
“We get calls from spouses who say ‘who is this guy you sent home?’. . .they start improving their life and getting it back.” Dave Thomas, representative for CJ3 Foundation
