In this interview, Bren Briggs discusses:

• Having to have his face rebuilt after an accident in a combat zone
• How being lonely in ICU while going through 6 surgeries led him to create The Eden Project
• Getting a divorce and being homeless
• The Eden Project’s Peer Program
• Warrior Centric Holistic Reintegration

With 28 years of military service (8 years USMC; 20 years ARMY), Bren Briggs is the Founder and Director at The Eden Project, A Warrior Support Foundation, a registered 501 (c) 3. His desire is to inspire through example, act with integrity, and lead with honor.

The mission of The Eden Project, is “to provide world class, community-based, reintegration programs for the warrior and his or her support group.”

The Eden Project’s philosophy is to create this holistic, multi-disciplinary support network in each community to facilitate reintegration for warriors and their families.

The Eden Project’s primary emphasis is on Encouraging, Engaging, and Empowering the warrior and his or her support system to promote and sustain the reintegration process. The transition from a military to a civilian career can be a difficult journey, but it doesn’t have to be. It is made even more difficult if the warrior has experienced physical and/or emotional trauma, long or multiple deployments away from their family or both.

The Eden Project believes the path to healing starts with a foundation that consists of four main pillars; adequate health care, a strong support system, a sense of purpose, and faith.

The Eden Project has begun assembling a coalition of veteran focused organizations and will lead this partnership as it addresses the needs of our veteran community.
