Some veterans come home with wounds that can't be seen. Issues like anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder can have long-lasting effects when left untreated. Depending on a warrior’s specific situation WWP has three mental and brain health programs designed to address the invisible wounds of military service.
Healing Invisible Wounds
2003-2023
In 2003 WWP started by providing support and comfort to wounded service members returning from Iraq and Afghanistan with backpacks filled with personal care items to their hospital bedsides. Every step of progress we've made since is possible thanks to the determination of warriors, their families, our WWP teammates, and generous community support. Here are a few of the milestones we've accomplished over the years.
