Dryhootch is Peer Support
Peer support has become an invaluable job in the veteran reality, and to improve the veteran experience, we need more people, like you, to give a $#!t and try and understand what it means to wear the title “veteran.” It’s been quite a while since I was deployed to Vietnam, but in reality, I never left the battlefield behind. I dragged my family and friends through hell and back while on my journey.
Once I was forced to face down my own demons, I fell back on my brothers and sisters in arms. There were experiences that no one else could understand. After the dust from my battle on the home-front settled, my peers and I rallied behind the idea of creating a brick and mortar place to continue to pass along the experience of peer support. We wanted to create an organization to empower veterans and family members after the uniform, to be a home-front battle buddy, and to de-stigmatize the veteran experience to the general public.
At Dryhootch, we specialize in transitions, and you will soon understand what I mean after completing this manual. Thank you for empowering our brothers and sisters.
Welcome to the peer support family,
Bob Curry,
Founder & President of Dryhootch of America
