establish systematic programs that involve engagement with the community as well as ones own self worth and willingness to fit in with society. Of course, this first begins with finances. They have a financial goal to raise $300,000 in order to establish a Veterans Transitional Base to assist all veterans in the transition from the military mindset to being a civilian again.

ADVOCACY

"At Veterans Ending The Stigma we know that Cannabis is medicine; that homelessness is merely a condition of circumstance, not a reflection of who you are as a human being. And that mental illness is not a choice and never something to feel ashamed of."
