WHAT'S NEW AT WWP

Life After Trauma: Helping Veterans Understand Post-Traumatic Growth

For many veterans, life after military service can look very different from what they expected. This is particularly true for men and women who have experienced trauma, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). But research from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) shows that with the proper support and resources, most veterans can turn their trauma into something more positive.

Revisiting the PACT Act: Understanding its Impact

Wounded Warrior Project^® (WWP) was at the forefront of the fight to pass this important legislation. In the three years since, nearly two million veterans have had PACT Act-related claims approved by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

WWP And National Press Foundation To Recognize Journalists Reporting On Veterans

Wounded Warrior Project, National Press Foundation to Recognize Journalists Reporting on Veterans

Submissions are now open for the 2025 Wounded Warrior Project^® (WWP) Award for Excellence in Coverage of Veterans — a journalism honor presented in partnership with the National Press Foundation, recognizing powerful reporting that elevates the voices, challenges, and triumphs of America’s veterans.

Creative Comeback: Warriors Unleash Their Potential Through Art Partnerships

For many veterans, the battle doesn’t end when they return home — it simply changes form. And sometimes, the most effective weapon in that new fight is a paintbrush, a guitar, or the rhythm of a well-told story. These new tools can also create new missions – new ways to engage, heal, and thrive.

Wounded Warrior Project And CSX Partner On Veteran Workforce Development

Wounded Warrior Project, CSX Partner on Veteran Workforce Development

Wounded Warrior Project^® (WWP) partners with CSX, a leading rail transportation company, to help veterans navigate this transition and discover new career opportunities. The two organizations hosted a training event at CSX’s Railroad Education and Development Institute (REDI) Center in Atlanta that provided hands-on opportunities for warriors to learn about the transportation field and develop existing skills.

“Wounded Warrior Project doesn’t just help with one aspect of a Warrior’s life; it’s very well rounded. It’s not just handing out money. They are a hand up, not a handout.”
