For years, the Barbara Giordano Foundation has strived to provide women veterans with holistic healing modalities to manage the unique difficulties that they face, especially when returning home. Our goal is to provide access, free of charge, to proven wellness services for issues such as PTSD, MST, anxiety, depression that are either not readily available or too expensive.
​
Our offerings include retreats, and integrative healing approaches designed to support both emotional recovery and overall wellbeing.
Why Should We Care?
-
There are more than 3 million women veterans and yet most people say that they have never met a woman who has served
-
Women have participated in every conflict since the American Revolution–often without recognition for their service
-
Women veterans often experience PTSD or sexual trauma associated with their time in the military
-
More women veterans commit suicide than their male counterpart
-
Many lack access to affordable effective care -- leaving them to navigate these experiences alone
Program Outcomes
-
From isolation --> reconnection
-
From trauma response --> coping tools and stability
-
From invisibility --> community support
-
From survival --> reengagement with life.
