This September, during Su***de Prevention Awareness Month, we are reminded that sometimes the smallest actions can make the biggest difference.

The VA’s “Face Your Dragon” campaign highlights the lifesaving power of secure firearm storage. Even a brief pause in a moment of crisis can create the space for a different choice, and that pause can save a life.

At the Marcus Institute for Brain Health, we know these conversations are not easy, but they are essential. Responsible firearm storage is not just about safety, it’s about protecting our Veterans, Service Members, and First Responders when they need us most.

Today, on Patriot Day, we honor the nearly 3,000 lives lost on September 11, 2001, and the countless families, veterans, and first responders forever changed by that day.

At the Marcus Institute for Brain Health, we carry forward this remembrance by supporting those who continue to serve and sacrifice. Our mission is to walk alongside veterans and first responders facing the invisible wounds of traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress, offering care that restores hope and strengthens resilience.

We will never forget the weight of this day, nor the courage of those who stood in its aftermath.

You’ll most often find Buffy in Physical Therapy with Kayla, but she may also visit other clinic sessions with Tina. Whether she’s chasing her tail, cuddling up for a Netflix-style binge, or just making new friends, Buffy has a way of bringing smiles wherever she goes.

We are so excited to welcome Buffy and can’t wait for you to meet her!

Today is National Purple Heart Day; a day to honor the service members who were wounded or killed in combat while serving our country.

At the Marcus Institute for Brain Health, we are privileged to walk alongside many Purple Heart recipients in their recovery. These individuals have endured more than most will ever understand, and yet they continue to show up, for their families, for their communities, and for themselves.

Their resilience reminds us why this work matters. Today and every day, we recognize their sacrifice, we honor their strength, and we remain committed to delivering the care they deserve.

Tucked among the sleek architecture of CU Anschutz campus sits a pair of modest 1930s-era barracks. But inside these unassuming walls, a quiet revolution is happening.

At the Marcus Institute for Brain Health (MIBH), active service members, veterans, and first responders living with traumatic brain injuries are finding healing in an unexpected place: the art studio.

In his capstone project, “Reverent Process”, US Army veteran and Community Engagement Specialist Javan Bair takes us inside this transformative space, where art therapy helps warriors lay down their armor and begin the hard, sacred work of healing.

Raw. Honest. Necessary. This is not just a story about masks; it’s about the courage it takes to take them off.

If you’ve ever wondered what true vulnerability, resilience, and transformation look like, take the time to read this. Read the full piece: https://heyzine.com/flip-book/reverentprocess

June 27 is National PTS(D) Awareness Day, a time to bring attention to the unseen wounds that affect far too many of our nation’s veterans and first responders.

Post-traumatic stress is not a weakness or a disorder, it’s a deeply human response to unimaginable experiences. At hashtag , we see the toll it takes, but we also see the strength it takes to ask for help.

If you or someone you know is dealing with the effects of trauma, know that support is available. Real healing happens when we treat the whole person.

Today, we honor the strength, resilience, and unwavering dedication of fathers everywhere.
