Our Aim

VATIC FOUNDATION

The heart of the Vatic Foundation is to offer a lending hand to any individual recovering from a trauma-related injury. Our focus is to assist Ptsd survivors and to help identify Complex-Ptsd.

Our Aim:

Introduce trauma survivors to cycling;
Ensure new career paths are met;
Encourage participation in our community;
Contribute a positive means for coping;
Provide awareness;
Protect people from further psychological harm;
Make sure you're not feeling alone while understanding your trauma.

What does this mean for the VATIC Foundation?

It's a cut-and-dried response. Our goal is to remain outspoken about mental health, trauma, Ptsd, Complex-Ptsd, while delivering the groundwork, strength, courage, or even the confidence individuals depend upon during a period where people feel isolated.

2019 Paws Across America

Ginger-Bella and Brian Nadon completed 10,500 km Paws Across America Tour 10,500 km on August 11th, 2019!

Crisscrossing North America over the past year has presented numerous adventures, endless stories, and many tears. But the trauma ridden culture hidden within the American society is something we've learned from and will never forget.

Thank you to each person who embraced Ginger and Brian during the USA tour!

Our Community

Support Trauma Survivors

As a nonprofit, the Vatic Foundation's mission is to provide grants for people who have Ptsd and trauma-related illnesses.

We work for people who require someone to believe in them, and as such, help individuals pursue a healthy and positive future.

We aim to bring awareness to Complex-Ptsd / Ptsd while helping break the negative cycles and attitudes that often surround mental health.

We will continue to challenge the harmful stigma burdening those trying to heal as we work toward exploring ways to end the depression caused by Ptsd and Complex-Ptsd.
