Why Join Thoughtful Thursdays?
Build resilience and find healing
Gain practical tools for mental wellness
Connect with a supportive community of Women Veterans
As women, we sometimes tend to carry the weight of the world on our shoulders. Work, kids, in-laws, significant others, friends… sometimes it’s as if there isn’t enough of us to go around!
It’s impossible to be everything to everyone and YOU ARE NOT ALONE in feeling the stress.
Wonder Woman Wednesdays is a place to gather online with your peers and share experiences without judgment. Some weeks will feature planned topics for discussion and others may be a session full of our Women Vets who just need to vent in a safe space. Regardless of the weekly topic, it will always be a forum to connect with your sisters-in-arms with similar experiences and backgrounds.
Connections are the key to healing and recovery! So, grab your favorite beverage and join us!
