JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (August 4, 2016) – When the veterans who fought and sacrificed for this nation return home, they sometimes face a difficult transition back to civilian life. Since 2003, Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP) has worked tirelessly to help these warriors live successful, independent, and healthy lives. However, these veterans are not the only ones who face obstacles and challenges during the road to recovery. Some have started families and are raising children, many of whom have seen firsthand the physical, mental, and economic challenges faced by their wounded parents.
With WWP’s commitment to serve warriors for a lifetime, their families and caregivers are included. The need for support and programs for children grows, with the understanding that the entire family needs to be part of the recovery process.

These partnerships enhance existing WWP programs with services and support.
