What is Helping 2 Overcome?

Peer Support - at a DEEPER level
Adventure Based Peer Support
Adventure Based Peer Support - Engaging our Veterans, Active Duty, First Responders, and their Family Members in an environment that encourages confidence building, overcoming anxieties, and battling the causes of suicide.
A Part WHOLE person healing.
Helping 2 Overcome helps to build on the idea of WHOLE person healing at Veterans Recovery Resources. Physical, Mental, Spritiual, and Emotional healing. Using activities and programs such as H2O we encourage and and foster recovery and healing from mental health illness, substance abuse and more.
Community and Healing
The Helping 2 Overcome program fosters continued healing through events, functions, classes and other actives that promote an end to the isolation that often compounds mental health illnesses, substance abuse, and suicide.
Go on an Adventure
Never Heal Alone
A major difference in the Adventure Based Peer Support Program - Helping 2 Overcome - here at Vets Recover is that we understand that you can not heal alone. Our program invites and encourages family members of our Veterans, Active Duty Members, and First Responders to participate and take part in the healing, community building, and recovery process - because we do not go to war alone and we do not come home and heal alone.
Heal As A Family
