Nature Therapy
Medical professionals will tell you that time spent outdoors will foster mental and physical health. WLS Foundation believes strongly in this concept and has developed several non-clinical outdoor recreation events for veterans and their families. Through one-on-one outings, veteran-only workshops, and multi-family retreats, The WLS Foundation provides “no cost” outdoor recreation opportunities to engage the healing power of the Great Outdoors.
Navigation Services
From financial planning to legal services and employment counseling, the WLS Foundation has a strong network of partners to service each veteran’s needs. WLS helps navigate the system to find the partners to best serve the distinct needs of each veteran, thus providing a more excellent holistic and person-centered approach to care. This help connects them with the resources necessary to promote financial and emotional stability. Services include but are not limited to financial planning, home loans, legal services, employment counseling, equine therapy, service dogs, drug rehabilitation, and more.
Veteran Outreach
The WLS “Never Forgotten” program serves veterans of all ages through nursing home visits, meal delivery services, and various events to show veterans they are valued, loved, and never forgotten. Community volunteers are critical for this WLS program.
