Our Mission: Returning Veterans Project is a nonprofit organization comprised of politically unaffiliated and independent health care practitioners who offer free and confidential services to returning veterans and service members of the current Iraq and Afghanistan campaigns and their families. Services are available in Oregon and Southwest Washington.
Our volunteer providers are mental health professionals, acupuncturists, naturopaths, chiropractors, massage therapists and other complementary health care practitioners. We believe it is our collective responsibility to offer support and healing for the short and long-term repercussions of war zone service on veterans and their families.
To Current War Veterans
We recognize that returning to civilian life can have physical, emotional and psychological challenges. Our providers have volunteered to give you the care you need to come all the way home.
To Active Duty Service Members, National Guard and Reservists
An upcoming deployment or redeployment can be extremely stressful as you face unknown challenges and separation from loved ones. Whether before your deployment or while you're on leave, our providers are ready to serve you.
To Military Family Members and Survivors
Having a loved one deployed is one of the most challenging experiences a family can face. The volunteer professionals at the Returning Veterans Project are here to support you before, during and after your loved one's deployment.
