Trust, Professionalism, and New Foundations: Massage Course for Veterans and Their Families Concludes Successfully

“If a teacher allows their students to give them a massage and apply cupping, it means those students have achieved the right results.” This phrase is not only about learning. It is about trust, professionalism, and a journey that has truly mattered.

Today, the Public Resources and Initiatives Charity Foundation sums up another massage course successfully completed by veterans and members of their families. This training is far more than mastering techniques. It is about regaining control over one’s own body, building confidence in one’s hands, and believing that new skills can become a real source of stability in civilian life.

For veterans and their loved ones, learning something new is vital. It is an opportunity to:

• restore a sense of self-worth and personal capability;

• find a new profession or an additional means of supporting the family;

• heal not only others, but also themselves — through touch, care, and mindfulness.

At the same time, society must learn to build an environment for Defenders — not a formal or symbolic one, but a living and effective one. A society with real opportunities, education, employment, respect, and trust. A space where a veteran is not seen as a “problem,” but as a value and a source of strength.
