Our 340 acre farm in Altavista, Virginia serves as our restorative headquarters and training center. Here we are building 100 tiny homes, a 30 room conference and welcome center, and a 25,000 square foot Wellness Center over the next 5 years. This is where we help our teammates thru the rigors, trauma, and life altering wounds of war, as well as the new challenges of public safety. The population of Veterans, Active Military, National Guard, and Reserves as well as first responders need our help. These great Americans fought for us so others could go on with their lives without the burden of war. Now we have the opportunity to repay this debt by helping them achieve physical, mental, spiritual, emotional, financial, professional, and relational wellness; including victory over PTSD and suicidal tendencies. In support of this objective, the National Center for Healthy Veterans will serve as a subject matter resource to educate and mobilize communities, corporations, campuses, and churches regarding PTSD, and other mental and behavioral health challenges our veterans and their families encounter. At the tactical level, We offer hands on lifeskills training, marriage and family counselling, financial management, resilience, and physical training. We accomplish these tasks thru the proven programs of our partners across the county. When our teammates finish their training we help re-launch their lives and return them healthy and happy into the leadership roles available to them around the world.
