This is a no-cost, 2-week intensive program for Native American veterans and their support persons. It is a meaningful and culturally grounded offering that integrates trauma-informed clinical care with Native healing approaches.


Program highlights include:
Individual and group therapy for trauma, anxiety, and depression
Culturally responsive care with Native providers and integration of traditional practices
Support for both veterans and their family/support person
Wellness activities such as movement, mindfulness, and connection
Travel, hotel, and meals fully covered
A plan for continued care after the program
Participants often report meaningful improvements in emotional regulation, connection, and overall well-being. Just as importantly, the program creates a strong sense of community healing—being in space with other Native veterans and families is a powerful part of the experience.
