Hear Ken Falke, founder and CEO of Boulder Crest Foundation share with ‪@KateTucker‬ how Veterans and First Responders are turning PTSD into Posttraumatic Growth

Veterans Turning PTSD into Posttraumatic Growth with Boulder Crest’s Ken Falke, Hope Is My Middle Name, season 4, episode 6

Ken Falke loves jumping out of airplanes. As a 21-year veteran bomb disposal specialist in the U.S. Navy, he’s a high risk, high pressure kind of guy. But when a jump went bad at age 27, he found himself out of commission and staring down a discharge. At that moment, Ken faced a decision he says all trauma survivors must make – he chose to be a victor, not a victim.

What seemed like the end, held in it the seed of a transformative mission Ken would launch with his wife in 2010 to help veterans, first responders and their families trade PTSD for Posttraumatic Growth. Through Boulder Crest Foundation’s Warrior PATHH program, survivors learn to reframe their trauma and become experts in their own healing. Boulder Crest programs are free for the over 100,000 people they’ve served, they use zero meds, and Warrior PATHH is 5-7 times more effective than traditional approaches to PTSD.

Hear why Ken Falke is determined to transform mental healthcare across America, and how his experience in military special ops makes him the perfect man for the job.
