As part of the Dialogues on the Experience of War program, Florida International University hosted War and Healing: A Century of Veterans’ Reintegration. The program consisted of a facilitator training and two, four-week long discussion series. Using works of art, archival documents, oral histories, and literature as a starting point, participants explored themes around the intersections of reintegration, remembering war, health, becoming a veteran, and relationships. In addition to helping veterans reflect on their experiences, the program helped build the capacity within the local community to serve veterans, both now and in the future.

“There’s no magic to ‘heal’ a veteran with all our different experiences. But, this truly helped in my path to healing.”
