About the Reiki for Military Program
The Reiki for Military Program is a program providing reduced rate, sliding scale Reiki, Massage Therapy, EFT sessions, and more for all our service members, with a special focus on Active Duty and their families.
Our goal is to help restore balance and ease stress, feelings of anxiousness and depressed mood, and support our service members and their families during all stages of military life and beyond.
Take A Quick Look
- 20% of those who served in Iraq and Afghanistan have PTSD. Less than 50% will seek treatment.
- From 2004 to 2008 suicide rates in the army increased by 80%.
- One study found about 14% of soldiers had thought about taking their lives, while 5.3% had planned a suicide and 2.4% had actually made one or more attempts. These numbers are noticeably higher than in civilians.
- There are now more deaths amongst servicemen from suicide than from military action.
- Military spouses are more likely to be diagnosed with depression, anxiety or other mental illnesses than their non-military counterparts.
- Children of active duty personnel are more likely to develop separation anxiety, which can result in major psychological issues as they grow older.
- 47% of active duty report binge drinking. 20% report binge drinking every week. 27% who have seen combat report binge drinking every week. Alcoholism is a huge and ever-growing issue military-wide.
- 55% of women and 38% of men report being victim to sexual harassment while serving in the military (MSM - Military Sexual Trauma).
So what's the plan?
Those men and women who are experiencing high stress, depression, suicidal thoughts and tendencies, anxiety, alcoholism… we want them. We want to provide safe space, understanding, empathy. We want to help provide healing physically, psychologically and emotionally, and help prevent deeper issues. Our service members and those close to them give their all. We want to help support them. Simple as that.
