To Returning Veterans

We recognize that returning to civilian life can be full of both physical and psychological challenges. Our providers have volunteered to give you the care you need to come all the way back home.

To Active Duty Military Personnel, Reservists, and National Guard Members

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 for military action is one of the hardest things a family can face. Here at the Returning Veterans Project, we want to support you before, during, and after their war-zone service. In addition to professional adult therapists, we also have specialists in children's, couples and family therapy to help you.

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 veterans and their families of the current Iraq and Afghanistan campaigns. Our volunteers include mental health professionals, acupuncturists, naturopaths, chiropractors, physicians, massage therapists, and other complementary health care providers. 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.

Our Vision

To create a supportive network of community resource for returning veterans and their families, we:

Offer free confidential counseling and therapy, acupuncture, chiropractic and naturopathic medicine, massage therapy and other health care services.

Educate and mobilize the community through speaking engagements to raise awareness of the challenges experienced by returning veterans and their families.

Offer current and specialized clinical workshops to further train our Project's volunteer health care providers.

Network and collaborate with other military and civilian veterans service organizations to provide opportunities for individuals to give back to veterans and their families.

* Confidentiality: We are profoundly committed to confidentiality. For further information, please click here, or on the confidentiality link to the left.
