The six-day experience includes Relationship Reset, Post Traumatic Stress, and financial awareness workshops, one-on-one time with a financial planner and / or counselors if desired, and age-appropriate youth / teen activities that mirror the adults curriculum. In FY25, 142 military families comprised of more than 481 people were supported at 17 therapeutic retreats. 18854 Family Support Program:Project Sanctuarys Family Support program, led by a licensed clinical social worker includes individualized case management support beginning the minute families reach out for help and continues as they return home from their therapeutic retreat experience to implement the tools they learned. Families can reach out at any time when needs arise for resource referrals, emergency financial assistance, or added support to navigate challenges they are experiencing. Each couple/family has a personalized level of support based on their own specific needs. Our team works with vetted experts both nationally and locally to connect families with best-fit resources. The top most requested needs include mental health / overall wellness, financial challenges, caregiver support, marriage / family counseling and veteran benefits.
