Wings of Change’s Family Peer Support Program offers solution-based discussion and education regarding any work-related trauma and mental health challenge. These informal meetings are facilitated by peers experiencing similiar concerns with traumatic calls/events and who are interested in sharing suggestions on how to maintain or improve mental health.

Veterans Farm Project was created to give women veterans the experience of nature through horticulture programs. We aim to maximize a veteran’s physical, psychological, and social strength as well as enhance general health and well-being. Participants can access all 6 acres of the property and take part in any activity that brings them joy or challenges their skills and knowledge. The farm is accessible to those with physical disabilities or challenges and there are specific areas that aid in helping mental health injuries. Some of the programs offered at the farm include farm stands, workshops, archery, yoga, reike, and more.
