Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Counseling, Mental Health
Mission: The mission of dryhootch is to provide veterans and their families with a stable, substance-free environment to gather, grow, and enhance their post-service life experience.
Programs: There are 1,146 members of dryhootch of america. Dryhootch runs the dryhootch coffee house, which is a place where members can get advice on veterans issues, conduct meetings with colleagues from work or school, or just enjoy camaraderie with other veterans, their families, and the general public. This provides a social space where veterans, their families and friends, and the general public can connect and share stories in a safe, drug/alcohol-free environment.
dryhootch offers peer-to-peer support to veterans of all eras, including those who are now returning from iraq and afghanistan. It is essential for veterans to be able to safely, and confidentially, talk about issues such as ptsd, depression, anxiety, substance use issues, family issues, jobs, benefits. The importance of peer support is that these veterans will trust and talk to a fellow veteran in most cases before they will a psychiatrist, psychologist, social worker, or va doctor. Peers offer each other an understanding that comes from having experienced a similar situation or problem.
