The Warrior Connection is a national nonprofit that provides holistic retreats to struggling Veterans and their Spouses. Based in Graham, Texas, TWC's mission is to improve the overall well-being of our Veterans and their families. With approximately one-third of all military personnel returning from service in Iraq and Afghanistan reporting post-traumatic stress disorder (PTS), depression, or anx
iety coupled with an increase in su***des, addictions, military sexual trauma (MST), and family violence, The Warrior Connection steps in where an underfunded veterans’ health care system has struggled, offering communities an effective and efficient way to care for our returning Veterans. The Warrior Connections hosts retreats and provides services with the mission of helping Veterans and their families recover from the invisible injuries incurred while in uniform. Since 2010, The Warrior Connection has been working diligently with our Veterans and their families to decrease the negative impacts of PTSD MST, heal moral injuries, and reduce su***de. Many Vietnam soldiers were harshly welcomed home more recently than we may want to remember. One of our goals is to offer Vietnam Veterans a retreat to transform their military experience to be trained to serve as mentors for the next generation of returning warriors, giving what they longed to receive.
