Our goals and commitment are based solely upon helping women who have been afflicted with the devastating effects of PTSD, MST, and CTS and address their symptoms before it progresses to homelessness, unemployment, and suicide.

WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO

We’ve discovered a more effective, more enduring way to heal emotional and mental scars. By leveraging two researched and tested approaches that target Traumatic Stress (Trauma Resiliency Protocol, or TRP) and extreme negative emotions like anxiousness, grief, anger, and guilt (Emotions Management Process, or EMP), we give you the resiliency skills you need to heal from past and present traumatic stress.

WHAT WE DO

We are contributing to a purpose and restoring the lives of America’s sons and daughters that put a uniform on for a purpose much bigger than self. 22ZERO uses a peer-to-peer program for veterans, law enforcement, firefighters, 9-11 dispatchers, corrections, EMT/Paramedic, spouses, and minor children living in the home, and Gold Star Families, are covered at NO cost, to heal trauma.

Saprea Support Groups are led by survivors, for survivors. Saprea has identified some best practices and guidelines to ensure that, when followed, support groups offer emotional safety, confidentiality, and create the optimal environment for healing.

That is exactly the type of experience Saprea wants survivors to find in a survivor led Saprea Support Group.
