Grounding Innovations

“The present and broken self not the end, but the beginning of a journey to build a new self-not out of the constructs of the past, but out of the hope-filled future where infinite possibilities exist.”

Our Mission

Grounding Innovations is a non-profit organization revolutionizing the way we engage, intervene, and help individuals suffering from acute stress disorder and posttraumatic stress disorders. We developed and patented a system that will transform the way we engage individuals with trauma- and stressor-related disorders. We are not a treatment center but an organization that helps bridge the gap between trauma- and stressor-related symptoms and mental health.

Evidence shows that Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Acute Stress Disorder (ASD) are psychological conditions that significantly impair a person’s daily functioning. Those with acute stress disorder show symptoms lasting up to one month. Those with posttraumatic stress disorder can have chronic symptoms that can go on for years, which result in poor personal and interpersonal relationships, reduced productivity, poor employment performance, job loss, financial instability, homelessness, and even suicide.

Posttraumatic stress is not just a veteran problem, a soldier problem, or a problem resulting from war. Posttraumatic stress is a human problem that can affect all people from all walks of life.

We understand the complexity of the disorder and the growing need for practical tools to help individuals cope, manage symptoms, and seek mental health services. We also believe those in our communities with the greatest need can’t afford high-dollar treatments. Therefore, our goal is not only to provide a free and safe intervention tool to help individuals during a posttraumatic episode, but to provide a system that will help reduce symptoms.
