The Coming Home Project has announced dates for four Military, Veterans and Families retreats to be held this summer. The retreats are an opportunity for veterans and families to support one another in the journey of return and re-entry. Participants will share stories and experiences of service, learn to manage stress with self-care and wellness skills, and find comfort and strength, safety and trust in community with fellow veterans and families.

The retreats are available to all veterans and active duty military personnel who have been deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan since September 11, 2001 and their families (including: children, single veterans, wounded warriors, surviving family members and all family types). Everyone is welcome as they are and all are treated with respect. Lodging, meals and travel scholarships will be provided.

A Note for Women Veterans: The Coming Home Project would like to encourage female OIF and OEF service members and veterans to apply for this series of retreats. For the first time, they plan to hold small groups for women veterans only.
