May 30, 2005 While the stigma attached to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder continues, veterans around the country have found a way to let the healing process begin—through making art.

The artistic process alone has been an essential ingredient in the recipe for improved mental health and spiritual nourishment, something they never had before.
