BANNING - Suicide rates have skyrocketed, divorce among veterans as a result of serving multiple missions in Iraq and Afghanistan has escalated. Vietnam vets are still trying to cope with their war-time horrors, and post-traumatic stress disorder inhibits veterans from re-assimilating back into civilian life.

But there is help for veterans: Vet-FAST (Veterans Fine Art Studies and Training), a program designed to help war veterans cope with combat trauma through fine art studies and training.

The non-profit organization provides an expressive and creative outlet for veterans. Veterans learn to use their right-brain (creative) functions to create works of art that helps them develop more self-confidence and a positive self image.

The program offers:
1. Painting.
2. Sculpting with stone and metal.
3. Mineral mining.
4. Visual arts - documentary film making.
5. Knife making and bladesmithing.
