A hand up, not a handout

Comment:"Stand down." In the military, it's a command to a combat unit to move out of a war zone to a safe place to regroup. In San Diego, it's an annual three-day campout with a similar goal: a time and place where the city's homeless veterans can rest and rehabilitate from the isolation, danger and uncertainty of living on the street. For the past 25 years in July, 1,000 homeless veterans have come to the encampment event on the grounds of San Diego High School near Balboa Park. They can shower, get a haircut and pick up new clothes. They can share meals with fellow veterans, visit physicians, attend support meetings and meet with veterans' benefits experts and employers. The event is supported by more than 3,000 volunteers from local military bases, hospitals, veterans' agencies and businesses who want to reconnect these vets with society and each other.
The Stand Down program is the brainchild of clinical psychologist Jon Nachison, PhD, a former U.S. Army soldier who created the first event in 1988 through Veterans Village of San Diego (then called Vietnam Veterans of San Diego) with its director at the time, Vietnam veteran Robert Van Keuren. Nachison was clinical director at the organization then and noticed how many of the veterans they were working with had no address on their paperwork.
"Up until this point, nobody in America was talking about homeless veterans, so Robert and I started talking about it," says Nachison, who will accept a presidential citation from APA President Donald N. Bersoff, PhD, JD, for his work with homeless veterans at this year's annual convention in Honolulu, July 31–Aug. 4. "We wanted to send a message to the community that there are veterans on the street, and more than people realize."
Thanks to Nachison's efforts, that message has extended far beyond the San Diego community. The San Diego Stand Down has inspired similar events in 200 U.S. cities and was profiled on "60 Minutes" in 2010.
Homeless veterans account for 13 percent of the U.S. adult homeless population, according to the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans, even though veterans make up only 7 percent of the general population. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development estimates that on any given night, more than 62,000 veterans are homeless. And despite the Obama administration's commitment to end homelessness among veterans by 2015, the number of young homeless veterans is increasing. In 2010, 12,700 veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars were homeless. It's a trend that Nachison is noticing at Stand Down as well.
"More and more young men and women are ending up homeless even more quickly than the Vietnam generation did when coming back," says Nachison.

Reviews for "APA Corp's Magic Hands: The Ultimate Stress-Relief Solution"
1. Jane Smith - 1 star
I had a horrible experience with Magic Hands APA Corp. The massage therapist was extremely rough and didn't listen to my requests for a gentler touch. I ended up leaving with sore muscles instead of feeling relaxed. Additionally, the ambiance of the spa was lacking. The rooms were small and not well-maintained, and I could hear the noise from the neighboring rooms. Overall, I would not recommend Magic Hands APA Corp for a soothing and enjoyable massage experience.
2. Mike Johnson - 2 stars
I was disappointed with my visit to Magic Hands APA Corp. The massage therapist seemed inexperienced and lacked technique, as the massage felt more like someone randomly rubbing my back rather than a professional treatment. The prices were also quite high for the quality of service I received. The spa itself looked nice from the outside, but inside it felt cramped and outdated. Overall, I feel there are better options out there for a therapeutic massage.
3. Anna Davis - 2 stars
Magic Hands APA Corp was not a great experience for me. The massage therapist seemed disinterested and rushed through the session. I didn't feel any significant relief or relaxation after the massage, which is disappointing considering the money I spent. The facilities were also not up to par, with outdated furniture and an overall lack of cleanliness. I wouldn't recommend this place if you're looking for a truly rejuvenating massage experience.
