According to the program’s flyer, “The intent is to provide Veterans with connection, community and tools that support them in using their strengths and experiences to find a meaningful and productive path in civilian life. Mindfulness-based interventions have proven to be successful at transforming stress, anxiety and trauma in a number of diverse populations and are being used within the VA system for returning veterans as well as deployed soldiers.” Lee Klinger Lesser and Chris Fortin of the San Francisco Zen Center co-founded the program in 2007.
