TESTIMONIALS

Veterans Affairs staff greeting a family in a welcoming office, with “Supporting Veterans. Strengthening Families.” sign

it is truly our honor to serve the brave men and women who served our nation. We are proud to help veterans and their families connect with the resources, support, and community they deserve — because no veteran should ever stand alone

“Helping veterans and their families find support, hope, and stability is one of the greatest honors imaginable. Every time a family gets connected to the resources they deserve, it strengthens not only that household, but our entire veteran community.”

The Connecticut Veterans Resource page has been a real lifesaver for my family and me. The community calendar and the resources they've linked us to have genuinely changed our lives.

I never would have thought a horse could help me with my PTSD. Being introduced and participating in the equine therapy program has changed me in so many ways. I feel like the herd helped me accept returning to civilian life. I now focus on the people and things around me and not trying to change everyone and everything into what I want it to be. Not sure that makes sense but it does to me. ~ Bill P. US Army, Vietnam Veteran


"I was totally unaware of how many organizations were ready to lend a hand. The CT Resource Page linked me to programs I had no clue existed. I've been fishing, picked up golf, cruised on a UTV by the Connecticut River, and in the fall, I'm heading to my first retreat. This organization really shows they care."

"PGA Hope has not only improved my golf game but has also given me the tools to tackle my PTSD head-on. It's a place where I can connect with fellow veterans and heal together."

Golf has been a game-changer for me. Through PGA Hope, I've found a supportive community that understands the challenges of PTSD. Every swing on the course helps me fight my demons and regain my confidence.
