Caring for Caregivers of Veterans
with PTSD and Traumatic Brain Injury
|
Our Mission
We provide education, resources and support to spouses and families of veterans with PTSD, Traumatic Brain Injury or both. Co-founded by the wife of a Marine who served in Iraq, Hearts of Patriots understands the challenges faced by caregivers of veterans with the invisible wounds of war. Our mission is to support these hidden heroes whose lives have been changed simply because they fell in love with a combat veteran. If you are the spouse of a veteran with PTSD or TBI, or wish to help those that do, we'd like you to join our ranks. |

Caregivers
You are not alone. If someone you love is dealing with the trauma of combat exposure, it can be difficult to know how to support them. PTSD affects more than the mental health of the individual — it also impacts the person's family and friends. We are committed to helping you care for yourself, because we know that self-care is essential to caring for others. |

Our Programs
We stand up for those who served. Through personal communications, a private Facebook group, small gifts of appreciation and more, our programs offer a sense of hope to spouses and families touched by the effects of PTSD, a traumatic brain injury or both. |
