Check back soon for more details on upcoming Group Events!
Mission Statement:
The mission of “America’s Little Helpers,” similar to the Coalition’s Caregivers Alliance, is to provide the children of wounded and disabled veterans with resources, support, and outlets to help them cope and thrive while living with the effects of their parents mental and physical war wounds. The strongest form of support for these kids is creating opportunities for them to bond and form relationships with other children of wounded veteran families.
As a member, you will enjoy access to the following benefits:
- Intermittent check-in calls with you or your child. Any communication with your child aged 3 years old to age 17 will be through the parents. 18yrs & up will be through the child directly.
- An outlet to have fun and make memories while building relationships with others that understand being a child of a wounded parent
- Monthly email newsletters highlighting current events
- Monthly virtual events
- A variety of online programs
- Skill soft educational programs
