Veteran Spouse Resiliency Groups (V-SRG) provide a safe space for veteran spouses and partners of veterans to come together, listen, share their stories, and lean on one another for support and guidance. These groups connect veteran spouses to their communities by providing strong peer support. This peer support is available to veteran spouses who face a diverse and unique set of experiences and challenges ranging from caring for their own mental, emotional, and physical health, to parenting, relationship, and career health, discussing the lingering effects of service, and how to support their veterans in seeking help.

This program was created for veteran spouses, by veteran spouses, and aims to provide a space where spouses and partners can gather with others who have a shared experience, and be provided support without judgment. If you have been looking for a strong community of spouses, this is it! Join us!

The program follows a unique peer-to-peer model:

• Trained veteran spouses and/or committed partners facilitate groups of 6-8 spouses
• Groups meet once a week for two hours over 12 weeks (unless otherwise specified)
• Curriculum topics range from “Taking Care of Ourselves” and “Sharing Our Stories,” to “Love and Relationships,” and “The Lingering Effects of Service”

Spring 2022 Groups

We are currently solidifying our Spring group details, and groups will be added to this page as they are solidified. Register for a group below, and you will be notified of all Spring group offerings.

UPDATE RE COVID-19: As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, we will continue to monitor and follow local, state, national, and CDC guidelines and recommendations. We are committed to prioritizing the safety of all of our group members and leaders and will determine the status of in-person groups with that in mind. All site health and safety protocols are listed in the tables below.

Note: If you are a past participant of the V-SRG, you are encouraged to register for another group if interested. We update the curriculum frequently, and many find taking the group again with a different group of spouses to be supportive and provide them with new growth and insight.

In response to the rising rates of COVID, we have made the decision to cancel our January 2022 in-person training, and will be hosting a virtual Winter 2022 training in its place. The virtual training will take place over 4 days, and attendees are required to be able to attend at least 70% of the live training sessions to be certified.

Anne’s Story

Listen to veteran spouse Anne Jackson talking about her experience, and why it is so important for spouses to come together to support one another. Anne was one of the spouses who helped develop the V-SRG curriculum to ensure it would meet the needs of veteran spouses.
