NIPS was inspired by Dr. Jim Driscoll’s decades of experience in several recovery programs and peer co-counseling. NIPS’ first program Vets4Vets taught peer support to 1500 returning Iraq/Afghanistan veterans in one or more of 85 residential weekend workshops from 2005 to 2011.
In the meantime, Dr. Driscoll has led peer support work for veterans within the co-counseling community. Currently, NIPS is setting up support groups for veterans in Tucson, AZ, USA. Please contact us if you are interested or if you would like to get support for veterans going in your area, organization or on line.
