MEMBER BENEFITS
- Retreats
Each year, Hearts of Valor hosts educational and respite retreats across the United States. The retreats provide caregivers with opportunities to share their stories, network, and connect with other caregivers who are in similar situations. They are offered at no cost to members of the program.
- Support groups
Hearts of Valor hosts in-person support groups in many locations around the United States. The support groups are led by caregivers in the Hearts of Valor program who are willing to serve as peer facilitators. The goal of every group is to improve the lives of those who are caring for wounded warriors.
The Hearts of Valor public-facing Facebook page can be found at www.facebook.com/heartsofvalor. Here, we share news articles and success stories that are relevant to the lives of caregivers and their wounded warriors. We also offer private Facebook groups for the registered members of our program. Caregivers may utilize these groups to share resources and build communities.
- Newsletters
The program offers electronic newsletters that contain information pertaining to upcoming events, contests, success stories, and legislature that impacts caregivers and wounded warriors.
