SSG Sean Fowler, US Army (Retired), served in the U.S. Army Infantry for almost 12 years. Sean is an advocate for mental health awareness, suicide prevention, and the healing power of horticulture. He is here to talk vulnerably about his healing journey from dealing with his own PTSD to now helping others.

Inevitably succumbing to years of chronic back and leg pain, Sean had major surgery in 2015 to fuse herniated discs at the L4/L5 and L5/S1 portions of his spinal column. After surgery, Sean hit rock bottom, got addicted to the painkillers he was prescribed, and considered taking his own life. Remembering the service and sacrifice of others who fought and died, he took his life back reconstituted as an opportunity for growth and mental freedom.

Sean lives in Washington D.C., and leads Operation Houseplant Healing, an initiative to prevent suicide and help our heroes grow by delivering 30,177 care packages with plants that connect military families with life-saving community and resources.
