SAS is an innovative program, newly introduced to South Florida,<br />
designed to help veterans suffering from traumatic brain injury<br />
(TBI) and post-traumatic stress (PTSD) recover their brain<br />
health. The SAS initiative is committed to showcasing and developing<br />
holistic, proven approaches to effectively treat and rehabilitate<br />
veterans, aiming to gather sufficient funds to begin treatment<br />
for one hundred deserving veterans over the next 24 months.<br />
The SAS Program, established under IBRF, seeks to accelerate<br />
development in brain cures by supporting state-of-the-art translational<br />
clinical research. With a strong Steering Committee, including<br />
Dr. Phillip DeFina, a pioneer in neuroscience, and other<br />
experts deeply connected to military and veteran communities,<br />
the program aims to bring revolutionary changes in the treatment<br />
of brain injuries and dysfunctions among veterans.<br />
This is a significant step towards addressing the long-standing<br />
effects of war on combat veterans, providing them with the tools<br />
to empower themselves and reclaim their place in society. Help<br />
us make a difference by supporting SAS in changing the lives of<br />
thousands of veterans suffering from brain wounds and offering<br />
new hope and recovery to them and their families. One of our<br />
Army veterans, Elizabeth Joy (Collatura-Rosenberg) who flew helicopters<br />
and was released from service in 2011 as a Major says:<br />
“Returning to society after serving multiple combat tours in the<br />
Army was more of a challenge than I had anticipated. The invisible<br />
wounds of war persisted in creating chaos in my new civilian<br />
life and I knew that I needed the best care available. That’s when<br />
I found Dr. DeFina and the “Save A Soldier Project”. Dr. DeFina is<br />
not only an Army Veteran, but also a Clinical Neuroscientist who<br />
has developed a program for veterans with traumatic brain injury<br />
(TBI) and post-traumatic stress (PTS) under the wing of the<br />
International Brain Research Foundation. Thankfully, I was selected<br />
to undergo their month-long Biohacking Brain Boot Camp.<br />
It has given me a new start and fresh hope for the future.”<br />
Another SAS Alum, former Navy Corpsman, Peter Ahearn said:<br />
“There are programs that treat you, but this program actually heals<br />
you. I am nobody special, but I have been given something special.”<br />
