Our Impact

Louise, a 26-year Air Force veteran, was initially referred to AWP by USA Cares after seeking support to obtain an Alpha-Stim device. This device is a prescription-based, non-invasive medical tool that uses Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation (CES) to deliver mild electrical currents to the brain via ear clips, aiming to reduce anxiety, insomnia, depression, and pain by balancing brainwave activity and neurotransmitters.

IWP joined forces with the veterans of Eli Lilly to assemble care packages for those in need this Veteran's Day. While it was too icy outside to host their annual Lilly Army/Navy Flag Football Game, Eli Lilly moved the event inside serving lunch to their staff and honoring their veteran employees.  Local community resources were brought in to assist veterans, veteran family members and caregivers and provide support.
