Connection, Understanding, and Strength Through Fellowship

Sometimes the greatest source of support comes from being surrounded by people who understand. Our PTSD Advancements program provides men, women, and spouses of Veterans with a private and supportive environment where they can connect, share experiences, and spend time with fellow Veterans who understand the challenges that can follow military service.


Once a month, Veterans gather in a private setting for fellowship and open conversation. These gatherings provide an opportunity to talk about the positive and difficult experiences associated with combat and military service while reinforcing one important message: you are not alone.

A Place to Connect

PTSD can affect each Veteran differently, but no one should feel they have to navigate those challenges alone.


PTSD Advancements creates a comfortable setting where Veterans can build relationships, share experiences, listen to one another, and find camaraderie among those who have walked similar paths. The focus is on creating meaningful connections and strengthening the Veteran community through fellowship and understanding.


The program offers separate groups for male and female Veterans, helping create an environment where participants can feel comfortable connecting and sharing with one another.


Connection • Fellowship • Understanding • Support

You Are Not Alone

Reaching out can be difficult, but sometimes taking that first step can lead to an important connection.


If you are a Veteran dealing with PTSD, we encourage you to connect with us. Whether you are looking for fellowship, someone who understands, or simply a place to spend time with other Veterans, PTSD Advancements is here to remind you that you do not have to face it alone.

Standing Beside Our Veterans

Adventure. Fellowship. Faith. Connection.


Supporting Veterans means being there not only during the good days, but through the difficult ones as well. Through PTSD Advancements, we are working to strengthen relationships within the Veteran community and create opportunities for Veterans to connect with people who understand their experiences.


Together, we can create a community where Veterans feel heard, supported, and never alone.
