David Maulsby

This week on The Strategic Veteran, Adam Peters sits down with David Maulsby, Executive Director of the PTSD Foundation of America, and Anthony Muro, Afghanistan war veteran and graduate of the Camp Hope program. David shares how his calling as a minister led him to walk the streets of Houston in 2009, supporting homeless veterans long before there was a program to back him. That leap of faith grew into Camp Hope, a six-to-nine-month peer-to-peer, faith-based residential program that has saved countless lives. Anthony brings the raw truth of lived experience—his near decade-long prison sentence was diverted when the foundation stepped in. He opens up about hitting rock bottom, how peer mentorship at Camp Hope turned his life around, and why he now helps other veterans reclaim their lives. Together, we explore: How faith and moral injury shape the healing process Why peer-to-peer mentorship is a cornerstone of Camp Hope The role of family education and support in breaking cycles of trauma Alternative healing modalities, from equine therapy to plant medicine The urgent need for veteran and family-centered programs across America If you or someone you know is struggling, call the Combat Trauma Helpline at 877-717-PTSD (7873).
