Chronic pain can affects the brain, relationships, emotional well-being, and overall quality of life.

For Special Operations Forces service members and veterans, years of demanding training, deployments, and injuries can contribute to ongoing pain that affects many areas of daily life. Understanding these effects is an important part of supporting the whole person and their family.

Operation Healing Forces is proud to work alongside partners like Wounded Warrior Project who are committed to supporting the healing and recovery of the Special Operations community and helping service members, veterans, and their families thrive.

For SOF Veteran Matthew K., receiving the treatment he needed required time away from home and his family. During an already challenging season, being away for care brought added financial stress and concern about how he would continue to support his family.

Matthew turned to Operation Healing Forces, and through the SOAR Program, Director Phillip Fong worked closely with him to provide assistance and support throughout the process. Matthew shared that Phill’s professionalism, kindness, and personal attention helped make an overwhelming experience feel manageable and provided reassurance during a difficult time.

“When I reached out for assistance, I was in a difficult place and carrying a lot of concern about how I would continue to support my family while being away for care. The compassion and willingness of Operation Healing Forces to step in and help reminded me that the Special Operations community truly takes care of its own.”

With some of that financial uncertainty lifted, Matthew could focus more fully on his treatment, his recovery, and becoming healthier, stronger, and more present for his family.
