We are Declaring War on PTSD - America's FIRST Sober Home for Veterans with PTSD

11/04/2026

Women Veterans face unique battles with PTSD and addiction, yet specialized sober living homes for them simply hasn't existed. Bravo Zulu House is changing that. On November 11, we break ground on the first sober home in the nation specifically tailored for women Veterans. Stand with us as history begins right here in Mankato.

This event is open to the public! See you at 9:00 AM at 8th Ave & Cleveland St near the Quarry. Help us get the word out by sharing this post.

Juan brought his dog Ace to our Winnebago home and knows the importance of Ace’s unconditional love.

“At night, he’ll sleep with me and he’ll lay on my chest just to make sure Dad goes to bed at peace. Because my whole life, I’ve been on flight mode, and ever since I’ve got him, I’ve been able to get more than four hours of sleep, which is really nice,” said De Leon.

“Ace helped me just like God did. He never leaves my side … and he sits there. He listens. He understands. And again, he just never leaves my side. He’s always attached to me, and I’m eternally grateful.”

Our hearts (and camera rolls) are full.

Our official event photographer Jessica Knighton was hard at work all evening (stay tuned—the full gallery arrives in two weeks!), but we simply couldn’t wait that long to celebrate this event.

Swipe through for a few candid moments captured by our incredible board, staff, and guests.

Our BZH mission continues with the building of our women’s home! The blueprint for our home for women Veterans was drafted keeping their unique needs for healing in mind.

We have officially closed on a property in Mankato, Minnesota. It is a peaceful setting surrounded by nature and overlooks the Minnesota River. It will be a safe place for our women Veterans to heal and rebuild their lives.

This home will be America’s FIRST sober home dedicated specifically to women Veterans facing PTSD, trauma, and addiction.

We invite you to help us make history again! Your financial support will help transform this property into a safe haven where our women Veterans can find the care, community, and hope they deserve.

Together, with your support, we can build a home where healing has a place to begin. Please click the link below to learn how you can offer your support!

We are thrilled to have officially opened the Koch Family Kennels and welcomed our partner K9s For Warriors in integrating our Dog Therapy Program into our Winnebago, Minnesota home.

Our beautiful kennel is so much more than a place for our loving dogs to rest while our Veterans are away. Inside you will find a beautiful wash station and equipment for grooming. Each dog will have a safe and cozy space to stay when they are not providing support for our Veterans.

Sustaining our dog therapy program requires your help! A great way to support our Dog Therapy Program is by becoming a member of Team Shield. Your financial support will help to provide food, veterinary care and training for our life saving canines.

Our Dog Therapy Program is making a huge difference in the lives of our Veterans!
John, a Marine Corps Veteran, brought his 3-year-old German Shepherd, Zeus with him to our Winnebago home. Zeus has played a major role in helping John connect with his house mates and build friendships.

“The guys seem really great, and I just want to be the best version of myself,” Randall said. “That’s what we do here at Bravo Zulu.”

Your support can provide our Veterans with the unconditional love our furry friends offer, opening the door to healing.
