Hello — included here are what DE-CRUIT is, why you might want to participate, what is expected, how to sign up, and dates and times for each city served by DE-CRUIT in Fall 2017.
WHAT IS DE-CRUIT?
Treating trauma through Shakespeare and science.
A course created by military Veteran Stephan Wolfert, through partnership with a university-based research team, specifically designed for military Veterans, which interweaves classical stage acting with modern psychology. Veterans of all ages, eras, and military experience are welcomed to participate in a 20-hour session to measure any effects that this program might have on participants. Quite simply you will be guided through a short Shakespeare monologue, write a few short passages, and take two surveys along with two non-invasive measurements (EEG and heart coherence). That’s it.
WHY PARTICIPATE?
There are many reasons to participate:
- To help understand any difficulties that I may be experiencing since leaving the military (regardless how long it’s been since service).
- You will be blazing a new path to help future Veterans with their transition from military service to civilian life.
- Every Veteran who has participated has reported significant benefits from participating in DE-CRUIT.
- Data collected from participants thus far has shown dramatic improvement overall health after completing the course.
- We are also hoping for funding of a $250 stipend per Veteran.
WHAT IS EXPECTED?
20 hours of your time to attend a three-hour class once a week for six weeks plus a final “presentation” on the seventh week. You will also need to complete two surveys along with two non-invasive bio-measurements (heart coherence: a small clip placed on a finger for one-minute).
WHO CAN/SHOULD SIGN UP?
Veterans of all ages, branches, eras, and military experience are welcomed and indeed encouraged to participate.
