A veteran’s journey through PTSD can have a profound ripple effect on their entire family. It is crucial for veterans to recognize how their behavior and struggles can impact their loved ones, particularly their children. At The Long Walk Home, we aim to foster understanding and support for veterans, helping them navigate their challenges while considering the well-being of their family members. When a veteran experiences the symptoms of PTSD, their behavior can create an environment of instability and unpredictability within the home. This can lead to unique challenges for their family members, especially their children. We understand the significance of this ripple effect and the importance of addressing it.
At The Long Walk Home, we provide a safe and supportive environment for veterans as they navigate their journey. Through personalized mentorship programs, we work directly with veterans, helping them gain insights into their behavior and its impact on their family. By fostering understanding and compassion, we empower veterans to make positive changes that benefit both themselves and their loved ones.
In addition to our mentorship programs, we offer hiking and camping Retreats designed for veterans and their families. These retreats create opportunities for veterans to reconnect with their loved ones in a natural setting, fostering deeper bonds and creating lasting memories. By engaging in shared activities, veterans can witness the positive impact of their presence and involvement in their family’s life. Recognizing that children are also affected by a veteran’s journey, we have developed a Youth Version of the “10 Challenges.” This program provides children with age-appropriate tools and guidance, enabling them to navigate the complexities they face as a result of their parent’s experiences. By empowering both veterans and their children, we strive to create a supportive and understanding family dynamic.
At The Long Walk Home, we understand that a veteran’s behavior has a profound impact on their family.

Through our personalized mentorship programs, Hiking and Camping Retreats, and the Youth Version of the “10 Challenges,” we empower veterans to become better parents and create a brighter future for their families.
