Women's Strength Through Culture and Gratitude

A FREE Online Retreat for Women Addressing the Invisible Wounds of War.

Women veterans and their supporters often suffer from invisible wounds from their experiences with military

service, including Post Traumatic Stress (PTS), Military Sexual Trauma (MST), Military Moral Injury (MMI) along

with other ailments including drug and alcohol abuse. These experiences are not unique to one generation but

are instead intergenerational and include generations of all wars, present and past—Active Duty, Veterans,

Dependents, Family, and Friends.
