The Honor House

The mission is to provide a complete transitional package that utilizes resources from the community to meet therapeutic needs of our Veterans affected by combat.

Operation Healing Journey (OHJ) is a proactive approach in assisting to fill the transitional and medical gaps from the departure of the military into the civilian sector. Operation Healing Journey is focused on utilizing the resources from within the community and works in conjunction with regular medical practices to provide a structured three month program that will empower the veteran to find and seek healthy alternatives along the transitional and healing journey.

Mental Health Resources for Military & Veterans

Not every wound leaves a scar.

The strain of separation, the stress of combat and the trauma of loss can have debilitating consequences for service members and military veterans - and their families - long after coming home. The symptoms of psychological health issues, just like physical ailments, vary, as do the options for treatment.

And, like any other injury or medical condition, mental health issues have no bearing on the strength or character of the person who experiences the symptoms.

Prevention and early intervention are keys to achieving and maintaining good mental health.
