Therapies will be offered to our veteran residents on their journey to self-sufficiency and housing stability. We will work with Brown County and the Vet Center to offer counseling and therapies to our veteran residents that might be struggling with different traumas. We will give them a safe, supportive housing village so they can start training for a new career.
We also have several Certified Peer Specialists and Veteran Mentors who want to work with our veterans to help them overcome their issues and teach our veteran residents how to be Peer Specialists and Recovery Coaches as well to help the next group. After addressing wellness issues we are partnering with the Department of Workforce Development's Veterans Services and Disabled Veterans Outreach Program to provide our residents with relevant job training and placement in a career that they are interested in. We will also offer the following groups:
