Evaluating Outcomes of the Shields & Stripes Program for Veterans and First Responders

This study is looking at how well the Shields & Stripes (S&S) program helps veterans and first responders. The S&S program is a 12-week program that combines different types of care, including occupational therapy (help with daily activities), mental health support, physical therapy, and nutrition advice. The goal is to help people who have experienced a lot of stress or trauma. Researchers will look at information from past participants to see if their psychological functioning improved, using tools like the GAD-7 (for anxiety), PHQ-9 (for depression), and PCL-5 (for PTSD). This study is for adults aged 18-70 who are current or former military members or first responders and have completed the S&S program.
