Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Areas

We no longer have a woodshop.

For those who like to create hands-on, we offer DIY workspaces with professional tools and materials.

Spaces include:

  • Framing Studio
  • Woodshop
  • Sewing or Craft Workroom
  • Pottery / Ceramics Workspace
     

Safety & Certification:

  • Some areas require safety or certification courses (DA Form 3031).
  • Framing and woodworking classes are offered regularly.

  • Only trained users (usually age 16+) may use power tools or certain equipment.
     

DIY Benefits:

  • Save money by framing or building your own projects
  • Learn new skills with staff support
  • Use high-quality tools and safe workspaces

Resiliency Through Art Program:

Resiliency Through Art Program is a relaxing, safe space available to service members. Art is a great way to express yourself and participants are encouraged to experiment with the different supplies available in the space. No prior art experience is required when it comes to expressing yourself! Participants will find art naturally relaxing whether you are painting, sculpting or even making one of the craft kits provided by Help Veterans Heal. This supportive environment is available for use anytime during business hours. EFMP Friendly.
