The War Survivors Institute (WSI) is an international, U.S. based organization focused on restoring whole health to those harmed by war, conducting projects to promote peace and prevent violent conflict, and providing education and training through teaching and research.
Who are War Survivors?
Military Veterans
Perhaps the most obvious of the war survivors, military service members are greatly impacted by war — sometimes physically, but inevitably psychologically and emotionally. The invisible wounds of war are often more damaging than the physical.
Civilians
Civilians — men, women, and children, who often play no active part in war — are nevertheless impacted greatly by conflict. Helen Stacy, a Stanford scholar put it this way: “These are the people who suffer first, last, and in the middle.”
