More About Us
At Fidelis Family Retreat, the veteran and support system are both the priority – not an afterthought. We serve not only our veterans, but their families and extended support systems. We aim to decrease the national veteran suicide rate by strengthening and educating veterans’ families and support systems; improving their mental, physical, and emotional health; facilitating forward movement; and ultimately fostering reintegration of veterans into their communities.
Fidelis Family Retreat utilizes a holistic approach to create long-term positive outcomes for veterans and their communities. We empower those we serve through education and connection to resources, in order to support the transition from active duty to veteran life. We begin with a peaceful setting for relaxation, community events and activities, as well as land- and water- based recreational therapies.This approach not only allows veterans and their support systems to have fun again, it reduces stress, anxiety, and depression. The Retreat creates an environment which allows for veterans’ barriers to come down, helping them to reconnect with their family and friends, taking important steps towards mending relationships and strengthening bonds by creating opportunities for healthy interactions as well as creating new memories.
