In this episode we get to know Fidelis Family Retreat an it's leader Amanda Mohr.
Fidelis Family Retreat is establishing a new way for veterans to successfully interact with their families as well as their community through recreational therapy.
Fidelis Family Retreat feels that their approach will help veterans feel more connected to their community and less alone in hopes of decreasing the number of veteran suicides. Helping to overcome the battle in their minds here at home. Fidelis Family Retreat, with their future home aboard Lake Murray, SC will provide a peaceful place for relaxation, community events and activities, as well as multiple land and water activities year round. Recreational therapy adds fun into the veterans’ life, helps to reduce stress, anxiety, and/or depression related to; mental and physical disabilities incurred during time in service as well as the transition from active duty to veteran life. The retreat creates an environment that allows for the veterans’ barriers to come down assisting them to reconnect with their family and friends, taking important steps towards mending relationships and strengthening bonds by creating opportunities for healthy interactions as well as creating new memories.
