Mental Health Support: A Cornerstone of Our Mission

  • Heroes Wellness Collective

    While sharing your story is crucial for documenting history, your mental health and well-being are paramount. That's why Operation Recovery has integrated support from our sister initiative, the Heroes Wellness Collective (HWC), to ensure you have access to comprehensive mental health support before, during, and after participating in the Impacts of War project.

    Through this platform, you can engage in 24/7 peer support forums, connect with mental health professionals for one-on-one counseling, participate in stress management and coping skills workshops, and join virtual support groups specifically for veterans. These resources are designed to provide comprehensive support throughout your journey of sharing your experiences.
