Project Overview

Building off our model of peer support programming we will expand programming to reach more veterans in need. The program happens every week virtually, in-person, and through pop up sessions, where our members come together for a workout facilitated by expert trainers from the gym. The gym provides a setting where they feel comfortable and confident. Participation in the workout is good for the body & brain. Following the workout they participate in the “huddle”, an opportunity for them to come together, recognizing their earned scars. The huddle, facilitated by specially trained facilitators, offers support and shared experience in the hope of helping others choose strategies that will also help them be successful. Veterans are also supported by our staff who provide resource referrals.
