Yes, I am. It's a fantastic new opportunity really for anybody, but primarily focused on our nation's heroes, and that would be veterans, first responders, and their families dealing with combat or work-related trauma. And I say it's really for anybody because trauma affects everybody. Oh, yeah. And not just the individual, but everybody around them. You have people that are traumatized by divorce, by loss of life. Perhaps you got battered women. Interesting. You have trauma. Getting canceled and having your 15-year career destroyed. Yeah. There you go. Right. The even something like kids in the foster care, you know, they've been traumatized by either abuse. Oh, excuse me. Either abuse or by neglect. And so they end up in foster care.

Tom Broadbent 3:16

And that's partly because they turn 18. the government unspiritual educated just out and about and they said you're you're an adult you're on your own yep and they've never been able to deal with their trauma of abuse or trauma of neglect and now they're expected to figure it out on their own and they have no support system and there they go and so with camp freehouse we want to be able to help anybody in trauma Even though we say our target audience is veterans, first responders, and their families, the reality, much like Reboot Recovery, which is part of our DNA, they've developed a trauma course for veterans.

And then they developed a trauma course for civilians, for everyday folks dealing with maybe the loss of a job. sickness and death, divorce, you name it. You know, lose your money in the, you know, playing the lotto. Oh, yeah. No, yeah, for sure. You never know.

How does faith play a role in trauma healing?
