Healing
In Colorado Springs, the Healing Division has provided desperately needed trauma recovery care services to veterans, emergency responders, trauma survivors, and family members since opening in 2014. In 2023, Milestones Resilience Care will open to the public, delivering a new model of trauma recovery care focused on a whole-person healing approach. Rather than treating trauma survivors as “sick,” the center will build on an individual’s innate ability to heal by cultivating resilience through a focus on mind, body, and spirit.
