Josie's vision & mission is to provide a serene environment and non-clinical therapies to our female veterans who suffer from Military Sexual Trauma. The mission of GI Josie is to provide non-clinical therapeutic programs to women veterans to help alleviate their suffering from Military Sexual Trauma and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder offering them hope of a trauma-free future. The purpose for which G.I. Josie, Inc., is organized is to provide transitional housing ranch communities for female veterans, active duty members and female homeless veterans, all who suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Military Sexual Trauma (MST). At our properties single female-veterans, homeless female veterans and active duty military members, including those with children, who suffer from PTSD and MST, and largely ignored not only by society but also the VA, will heal in an emotionally safe and physically secure environment. The intrinsic serenity of our ranches, along with the proven therapy programs facilitated by Josie volunteer directors who are experts is their field, will create a healing process and atmosphere which is found nowhere else in the country. There are a vast multitude of equine therapy programs and canine companionship programs, as well as many other con-clinical therapies, which are currently in use and approved by the VA. However, no current veteran housing is equipped to provide the myriad of programs to our female veterans and their children in one location that Josie will, many of which will be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Because no one heals from 9-5, we feel it is imperative that our residents have access to therapies when they need them, rather than at our convenience. Furthermore, there will be daily, weekly and monthly activities which continuously build comradery amongst the residents and where they can support one another and heal together. Our residents will live on the ranch for a minimum of 6 months, and can stay until they feel they have healed enough to take the next step toward living the life they choose. G.I. Josie – Heal and Conquer.
