Healing Warrior Hearts
Our guest will be Patricia Clason, Founder and Director of Healing Warrior Hearts.
Healing Warrior Hearts is a nonprofit program providing free retreats that support emotional healing for military veterans and their families. Patricia will introduce Healing Warrior Hearts and share how its free retreats help veterans heal the invisible wounds of military service through peer support and community connection. She will also highlight the Mental Health First Aid trainings, funded by a grant from the Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs, designed specifically for veterans and those who work with or care for them. Participants will learn how these programs complement existing community mental health efforts and discover opportunities for collaboration and referral to strengthen veteran support across South-Central Wisconsin.

RAND
Report: “State-Level Summaries of Veteran Needs and Well-Being”
National programs operated by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) or by national veteran-serving nonprofits may distribute their resources at the state or regional Veterans Integrated Service Networks level.
The authors of this report present several measures of veteran service needs for each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia. These state-specific profiles show how veterans’ needs vary substantially across states and how these differences should be considered when funding, designing, or implementing services and benefits designed to improve the lives of veterans.
