• Family Support Retreat

These weekend­ all-expense-paid retreats are hosted at numerous locations around the country. The retreats provide­ an opportunity to get some much-needed rest and rejuvenation. The intimate retreat size, usually 20 participants, who are spouses, parents, or siblings of wounded service members are able to connect with others experiencing a similar range of emotions in a safe and comfortable setting.

Each retreat provides participants with the opportunity to expand their relaxation and coping skills with small group activities led by trained and licensed counselors from the Give-An-Hour Program. Other activities may include spa treatments or outdoor team building.

Retreat weekends are filled with exciting opportunities for new friendships ­and these bonds continue long after the conclusion of the retreat itself. WWP staff ­assemble a comprehensive contact database to ensure everyone can stay connected.

All travel expenses to and from the retreat are paid by WWP; however, a credit card is needed when checking in for personal incidentals. The Friday and Monday surrounding the retreat weekend are primarily used for travel, and departure and arrival times are somewhat flexible.
