 Wildcatter Ranch to host Project Odyssey

 

Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) and Wildcatter Ranch have partnered for a third year to host 16 wounded warriors from February 21-25, 2010 as part of WWP’s Project Odyssey program.  Project Odyssey brings together veterans with PTSD and readjustment challenges for activities that offer healthy support in the healing process.

 

“For three years, Wildcatter Ranch and its staff have selflessly opened their facilities to this newest generation of wounded warriors and have extended their hospitality free of charge to warriors who bear the invisible wounds of war,” said John Roberts, Executive Vice President for Mental Health and Warrior Engagement for Wounded Warrior Project. “Because they are not physically injured, they are often not thought of as wounded warriors.  This couldn't be further from the truth.  Often, these are the warriors that need the most help but receive the least amount of support.”

Featured WWP Program


At WWP, we’re committed to supporting not only our wounded warriors, but also the individuals who sustain them on their path to recovery. In the spring of 2008, we launched our Caregiver Retreats to support this unique, devoted group of family members who are helping their wounded loved ones face a range of physical and mental challenges. 

These weekend-long, all-expense-paid retreats are usually hosted in Florida. The retreats provide caregivers an opportunity to get some much-needed physical and mental rest and rejuvenation and connect with others on a parallel journey. A comprehensive survey administered by WWP before the retreats ensures participants are placed into an appropriate group. The intimate retreat size, usually 15-25 participants, allows caregivers to connect with others experiencing a similar range of emotions in a safe, warm, and comfortable setting.
