At INTERNITY: Veterans Making a Difference, we believe that EVERY problem has a solution. Sometimes the solution is easy to see, and other times, we have to dig a bit deeper or combine our creative talents to scale a peak. Our disabled veterans have endured many challenges and may need a bit of help to overcome them; and our team is ready to help.
Our work centers on teaching veterans positive communication and self advocacy skills so they can be empowered to resolve challenges in meaningful and mindful ways. This means that if a veteran or community makes us aware of a challenge, we aren't going to jump in and be a "fix-it" crew; rather we are going to ask four questions:
​
1. "How does this impact you and / or your community?"
2. "What have you done (to date) to help resolve it?"
3. " What is the best possible outcome that you can think of?"
3. "How are you willing to partner with us to resolve it, or make it better for our veterans?"
The most frequently asked question about INTERNITY is, "Why haven't I heard about this organization?"
​
The answer is surprisingly simple... we have a moral and ethical imperative to NOT spend our valuable donations on salaries, advertising, or costly gimmicks. If we receive a donation or grant, 100% of it is used for veteran operations and keeping the lights on. Nothing more!
​
Over the past ten years, we have had 100% board participation and leveraged anywhere from $128,000 to $323,000 in donated serves to meet our veterans' needs, and operated our office on a shoestring budget of approximately $2000.00 to $6,000.00 dollars per year.
​
We have good people doing good things for good reasons. Would you like to help us out and make a donation?
Downeast Wellness is a Functional and Integrative Health Practice that focuses on providing effective drug free complementary and integrative therapies. Many times our veterans have medical or mental health needs, and either can't access necessary services at their local VA Healthcare facility. We can provide coaching based on neuroscience and behaviors, complementary therapies, or referrals to qualified specialists outside of the VA Healthcare System.
The Downeast Wellness Institute is a a hybrid educational institution that validates college level learning, tests experiential learning skillsets, and translates both into a formal transcript toward a humanistic degree program. For many of our veterans who are unemployed or underemployed, this theological degree is THE necessary step to creating financial independence.
The INTERNITY Institute teaches veteran centric classes and seminars to help veterans adjust to civilian life or overcome challenges they face in the workplace or community. Veterans can work toward a degree in the Downeast Wellness Institute or receive certificates for completion of their classes and seminars.
