Dr. Rob Sands is the co-founder of the Pamlico Rose Institute in Washington, NC which advances wellness programs for female Veterans. Pamlico focuses on connecting mind, body, spirit, and community through meaningful/persistent attention to nutrition, exercise, health, and spirituality and build resilience to help in reintegration.
Reintegration is more challenging
for female Veterans due to:
· conflicting roles and identity of
mother, partner, and Veteran;
· single parenting;
· absence of support network and/or
not self-identifying,
· access to the VA difficult due to
many factors.
Building a strong foundation of
wellness and resilience can help female Veterans overcome the
effects of trauma and an uncertain future.
Pamlico Rose promotes a holistic
approach to wellness, Total Life Fitness (TLF), that builds a
strong foundation of living fit and helping one move through the
reintegration experience. Building resilience to adversity, TLF
encourages an individual through mind, body, spirit and healthy
relationships to focus on one’s whole self. TLF programs include
residential living, the arts, nutrition, gardening, connecting with
nature, yoga, and other activities and will be offered at their
Rose Haven Center of Healing in Washington, NC. Rose Haven includes
a soon to be completed (Summer of 2020) rehabilitated 1892
farmhouse as a reintegration home, its adjacent historic barn as a
multipurpose support facility, and a healing landscape that
includes meditation and produce gardens. The Center covers ½
neighborhood block in Washington, NC’s historic district.
