Military & Veteran Spouse & Family
Network of Support
The Institute for Military & Veteran Family Wellness develops and implements programming that supports the wellbeing of military and veteran families in partnership with researchers, providers, and community organizations.
We focus on delivering peer-support, educational, and community-driven initiatives through our Veteran Spouse Network (VSN). All programs are free of charge, grounded in evidence-based practices, and continuously evaluated to ensure they meet the evolving needs of the communities we serve.
