Billings Non-Profit Marks Five Years of Empowering Veterans
Over the last five years, the Adaptive Performance Center (APC) of Billings has made a profound difference in the lives of veterans in the Billings area and, this weekend, the organization proudly celebrates by inviting the community to a special event.
The organization's dedication to offering complete support for veterans facing different challenges, such as PTSD and physical disabilities, has made it a valuable resource in our community for veterans.
A Unique Approach: Going Beyond Traditional Services
At the Adaptive Performance Center (APC), they don't only offer the usual mental health and rehab services for veterans. They want to support veterans in a way that is more than just looking at numbers to track progress. By having a fitness setting, veterans can do activities that help them feel better and more positive, which can boost their mental well-being.
Community and Empowerment: Fostering Connection and Strength
The center is a spot where veterans and service members can meet and form a community with each other and the caring APC team. They have a gym with great equipment and also offer guidance on how to use the equipment and personalized workout plans. This helps every member get the help they need to reach their fitness targets.
Tailored Support and Specialized Classes: Catering to Diverse Needs
APC provides special classes to help veterans and service members improve their physical and mental health. These classes are customized to meet the specific needs of each veteran in the community, aiming to offer the right kind of support to each individual.
Five Years of Impact: Combating Veteran Suicide
Through its community-based whole health approach, the ACP has made strides in reducing the risk factors that contribute to suicide among veterans. In celebration of this milestone, the community is invited to a special event this Saturday, March 1 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 1420 Broadwater Avenue in Billings.
The event will feature a breakfast served by the Phillips 66 Veterans Network, a meat giveaway from Veteran's Meat Locker, and informative resource tables focused on veterans.
The Adaptive Performance Center of Billings is not only marking a significant milestone with its fifth anniversary this weekend, but it is also showing an unwavering commitment to serving and empowering the veteran community in the Billings area. For their efforts, our community is so very grateful!
