Families

VOV We Hear You (W.H.Y.)

Support for the families, spouses and friends who carry the war home too.

Our veterans have given so much to support our country; our hearts go out to them. But there is a support element the country has neglected — the family. How does a family member, friend or significant other find the support required to assist a veteran who has been through life's hardest battle? Special attention is required, and families are not always equipped to handle the majority of problems related to PTSD and other mental disorders associated with conflict. There are voices crying in the dark and no one hears them. W.H.Y. has heard your cry.

  • Designed for the supporters of our most valued possession — our veterans.
  • Spouses and supporters need special training and a network for when their soul mate returns from battle or deployment.
  • Help when trouble arises: emotional issues, domestic violence, death threats, verbal or spousal abuse, or any problem associated with PTSD.
  • Points of contact: VA hotline, police department, battered women's shelters, domestic violence shelters and safe houses.
  • A call center to assist with immediate help for veterans' supporters — moving toward full-time 24-hour coverage, because help is needed well after business hours.
  • Our team consists of veterans, teachers, spiritual leaders and personnel specialized in counselling.
  • Inspirational help ministries, 911 assistance (relay information) and temporary housing assistance (hotel, motel, etc.).
