The Combat Stress Recovery Program at Wounded Warrior Project

Colton Amster, the owner of Redline Restorations in Bridgeport, Connecticut, oversees automotive-restoration operations, including body work and inventory. Outside of his work with Redline Restorations, Colton Amster supports the efforts of the Wounded Warrior Project.

Dedicated to assisting injured service members once they return home, the Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) offers a number of resources for veterans coping with combat stress. Through its Combat Stress Recovery Program (CSRP), WWP provides specialty services for veterans expressing symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In addition to improving access to care, WWP works hard to eliminate the stigma associated with mental illness, especially among the veteran population.

The Wounded Warrior Project sponsors an initiative known as Project Odyssey, a five-day retreat in outdoor locations across the country. Participants meet other veterans to work through their combat stress, engaging in activities such as fishing, whitewater rafting, sled hockey, skiing, and more.
