Veterans Group Teaches Holistic Treatment For PTSD, And Digital Inclusion In Kansas City

Warriors' Ascent

For many veterans battles don't end overseas; sometimes they follow you home. A Kansas City group is helping veterans and first responders recover from post-traumatic stress with holistic methods including meditation, yoga and a paleo diet. Then, members from the Kansas City Coalition for Digital Inclusion describe the work being done to connect Kansas City, Missouri, residents to the internet, and close the digital divide.

Kansas City residents can sign up  for low-cost internet, computer classes and affordable computers  during Digital Inclusion Awareness Day at the Mohart Multi-Purpose Center at 9 a.m. on Saturday, July 15. For more information, call (816) 513-6559.

When I host Up To Date each morning at 9, my aim is to engage the community in conversations about the Kansas City area’s challenges, hopes and opportunities. I try to ask the questions that listeners want answered about the day’s most pressing issues and provide a place for residents to engage directly with newsmakers.
