Duty-Distance and Damage: The Untold Stories of Military Families

Some battles never make it to the battlefield… they live in the home, in the silence, and in the hearts of the families holding everything together.

Hosted by S.A.F.E. S.P.A.C.E. TheaterTherapy Foundation in collaboration with Combat Boots to Red Bottoms, this event uses the power of theater and guided dialogue to explore mental health within military and veteran families.

Behind the structure, discipline, and strength lies a reality many families face daily:

The emotional toll of deployment and separation

The lingering effects of PTSD and trauma

The strain on marriages, parenting, and family connection

The challenges of reintegration into everyday life

The silent battles of anxiety, depression, and emotional isolation

This event creates space to acknowledge those realities—and begin the conversation around healing.

This event is designed for:

• Military and veteran families
• Spouses, partners, and children of service members
• Mental health professionals and advocates
• Community members seeking awareness and understanding
