ABSTRACT
Examples of successful arts programs for military populations are provided throughout this chapter, drawing in particular on the experience of the author’s leadership of Creative Healing Connections, a nonprofit organization expanding its arts-and nature-based retreats for women living with cancer to serve women military personnel living with military sexual trauma, as well as to serve military spouses, families, and caregivers. The author is also a founding member of the National Initiative for Arts & Health in the Military.
