We have several Hearts of Valor support groups in different states around the country. To find a group near you, log in and view our list of support groups.

Loved Ones of Combat Veterans (PTSD & TBI Support)

facebook

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) are unseen and often misunderstood injuries seen all too commonly in our combat veterans. There is little in the way of resources for the families of these veterans so this group is to help support those who support our veterans.

Family Support Retreat (Wounded Warriors Family Support)

https://www.wwfs.org/familyretreats/

Wounded Warriors Family Support provides vacation retreats to combat wounded veterans and their families free of charge. The family retreats are a chance for wounded veterans to heal and reconnect with their loved ones in a peaceful, non-stress environment.

Our family retreats give combat wounded veterans and their families a break from the pressures of everyday life to take time to become stronger as individuals and families. Wounded veterans are given the opportunity to decompress and share in positive experiences with their spouses and children, strengthening the bonds of their families and making lasting memories.

Currently we have retreats available at Bahama Bay Resort in Orlando, Florida and Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming.
