Mission

DE-CRUIT is an scientifically-based program designed to help military veterans overcome the obstacles of transitioning from military service back into their communities. Countering the military's intense indoctrination and training, DE-CRUIT uses routinized techniques derived from principles of actor training (e.g., experiential analysis, symbolic representation, spoken verse) to transform military camaraderie into camaraderie among program members in order to heal the effects of trauma. The DE-CRUIT model combines these techniques with proven treatment elements from state-of-the-art psychotherapeutic approaches to support veterans in their transition to civilian life.
