Military families face significant barriers to successful healing and thriving post-service. More than 80% of service members served by Project Sanctuary suffer from physical or invisible injuries, including Post Traumatic Stress and Traumatic Brain Injury. Deployments and substantial transitions make it difficult for families and spouses to connect and support each other through crisis, hardship, or change. Additionally, four out of five military families we serve report being financially unstable.

Project Sanctuary is changing how military families heal. The program is open to all active duty service members, veterans, and their families, from all military branches and all eras of service.

Ultimately, Project Sanctuary aims to help every military family become self-sufficient, high-functioning members of society by providing support across the four dimensions of wellness as identified by the Center for a New American Security’s Veteran Wellness Model: Purpose; Basic Needs; Mental and Physical Health; and Social and Personal Relationships.

Believing everyone has the right to heal, Project Sanctuary’s holistic approach heals the effects of war, treats families at their level of need, and enables service members to reintegrate into their families and communities in a healthy and sustainable manner, resulting in preservation of the family unit and strengthening of the community, the military, and the country.
