What makes bastion special is not just the residents, but the program, the ethos.
Picture a place where returning warriors and their families find not just a home, but a supportive community that understands their unique challenges. In this episode of 'Whole Body Mental Health Radio', Dr. Jose Calderon-Abbo sits down with Dylan Tête, Jeremy Brewer, and Katie Bouchillon to discuss Bastion Community of Resilience. Located in New Orleans, Bastion is more than just a neighborhood; it's a sanctuary designed to support lifelong rehabilitation needs for veterans and their families.
Dylan Tête, the visionary behind Bastion, shares his journey from West Point to Iraq and finally to New Orleans, where he has dedicated his life to helping fellow veterans transition back to civilian life. The conversation kicks off with an overview of Bastion’s innovative model, which empowers neighbors to actively participate in a warrior's care plan. This isn't just about recovery; it's about thriving and building resilience.
The team delves into the myriad challenges returning warriors face, from disorientation to loss of purpose. They explain how Bastion's tailored programs, including mindfulness techniques and mind-body medicine, help residents regain meaning in their lives. But the support doesn't stop with the warriors; family members and caregivers are also an integral part of the community. Jeremy Brewer and Katie Bouchillon highlight the importance of community partnerships in providing continuous care, ensuring that no one falls through the cracks.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in innovative approaches to mental health and rehabilitation, offering a glimpse into how a community can come together to support its most vulnerable members.
