Confidential Care in Alaska has partnered with SoldierStrong to provide BraveMind, a virtual reality system, to treat veterans with post-traumatic stress. This is the first BraveMind system in Alaska, making the treatment accessible to the state's veterans for the first time.
Confidential Care, a private psychiatric and mental health agency in Wasilla, Alaska, has partnered with SoldierStrong to provide BraveMind, a virtual reality system, to treat veterans with post-traumatic stress. SoldierStrong, a national nonprofit, has donated the BraveMind system to Confidential Care. The organization has donated over $7.3 million in medical devices to help injured veterans since its inception. BraveMind delivers prolonged exposure therapy, an effective method for treating post-traumatic stress. The virtual reality technology creates 14 combat scenarios, allowing therapists to customize the treatment based on a veteran's traumatic experience. The program's efficacy stems from clinicians' ability to control the content presented in the headset, creating a patient experience mirroring the traumatic memory.
