A conversation between five post-9/11 combat veterans who will address alternative medicines that they have utilized, and believe other veterans can access, to get on a holistic path to recovery from the psychological and physical injuries that are sustained in war. This discussion will illustrate the positive mental health benefits of making and viewing art, and how art can serve as a catalyst for better understanding between the civilian and military populations.
