Serving in the U.S. Armed Forces is honorable and praise-worthy. Unfortunately, many come home with hidden wounds that leave them deeply conflicted by experiences contrary to their moral beliefs. If unresolved, these moral injuries can result in depression and guilt that break down one’s mental health and home-life.

REBUILDING HOME is a performance with guided conversations to shine a spotlight on the signs and symptoms of moral injury, to explore communication techniques, and to offer helpful ideas for military families to reconnect—ideas they can use in celebrating together the following day, Veteran’s Day.

REBUILDING HOME is a special presentation of The Sapphire’s award-winning PICTURE THIS program, delivering impactful learning in an entertaining way since 1984. Audiences will be engaged by live enactments of real-life scenarios with opportunities to talk directly with the characters. The Sapphire is collaborating with veterans and vital community partners to ensure authenticity, relevance, event-day support and on-going resources. Presentation includes stress reduction techniques and trained on-site listeners to assist struggling audience members.
