The Coming Home Project invites you to join other veterans and families to support one another in the journey of return and re-entry, share stories and experiences of service, learn to manage stress with self-care and constructive coping skills and find comfort and strength, safety and trust, in community with fellow veterans and families.
Renew mind, body, spirit, and relationships in a beautiful, tranquil setting. Enjoy tennis, volleyball, basketball, swimming, leisurely walks and delicious food.
Learn relaxation, breathing, movement and other techniques for managing strong feelings, reducing stress and enhancing well-being.
Improve your communication and coping skills.
Find comfort, strength, safety and trust in the presence of others who share the experiences and impact of serving in the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts.
Share stories and experiences of service, use writing and drawing to express what is sometimes hard to say, support and learn from one another. Programs are strictly confidential.
Everyone is welcome as they are and all are treated with respect.
There is no particular political or religious belief or affiliation that is represented or required. The intention of the Coming Home Project is to serve veterans and families and contribute to their well-being and healing.
