Securing America: Vets Using Art as Therapy

War veterans are finding a new way to deal with the stresses they face returning home, turning to a form of therapy that involves arts and crafts.

FOX’s Anna Kooiman is in Branchburg, NJ with more in our ongoing series on national security:

Securing America.

Vets come together every Sunday at The Print-Making Center of New Jersey to sip coffee, share war stories and heal while making what they call “Combat Paper,” ripped up fatigues turned into artwork. �Many say this form of group therapy is what works best for them.

The “Combat Paper” program started in 2007. �It has reached hundreds of veterans across the country through a traveling program, and about 40 in New Jersey. �”Combat Paper” recently wrapped up a program at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C. �It was the first time active military participated in the therapy program making paper, and it received an overwhelming positive response, including efforts to make it a recurring program.
