The Unique Needs of Military Women
Woman Veteran Strong
The bond amongst military people has no civilian equivalent. The following peer support services are COMPLIMENTARY for military women and women Veterans, thanks to our generous partners and sponsors. UNLOCK YOUR THREE MAIN MEMBER BENEFITS:
Belonging to a small group that's led by a WVS Certified Coach means reliable, consistent support
When we spend time together, we get to know your likes and interests, troubleshoot problems through vetted resources, refine your lifestyle, help you make friends, and serve as the encouraging voice along on your journey. This isn't clinical therapy - it's being supported by peers who believe in you, want the best for you, and want to be around you. Life isn't perfect, and neither are we. Let's figure it out together. Apply for your free membership today.
You Are Unique. Your Support System Should Be, Too.
Your life is a series of experiences that others can only imagine (and they'll probably get it wrong). At Woman Veteran Strong, we create small group coaching sessions that focus on the beliefs and behaviors of women wearing the uniform. Since 2019, we've been raising the standard of care for military women. We do this by continuously earning the trust of our members, and by earning the trust of the community organizations that serve them.
We Believe in Collaboration Over Competition.
“This is exactly what I was looking for. The ladies in this group make me want to be better.”

Our local community mental health agency offers a peer support group for male Veterans only. Woman Veteran Strong supplements their offerings and provides the women's group. Together, we're providing comprehensive mental health care to all our Veterans.”

WVS Member
Combat Veteran, U.S. Army“I actually look forward to our weekly leadership meetings. As group leaders, we hold each other accountable and problem solve complicated issues related to both the women we serve and the Veteran care landscape. Woman Veteran Strong gives me not only professional guidance, but the peer support I need as a woman Veteran myself.”

We accept ALL military service statuses (Active / Guard / Reserve / Veteran / Discharged) as well as ALL discharge types.
It's Hard To Know Who You Can Count On. Military Women Don't Have to Live Life Alone.
Having healthy female friendships is hard. You need to find a person or group that you might fit in with, muster up the courage to introduce yourself, hope that you aren't rejected, find things you might have in common, and finally carve out time in your schedule to foster the relationship. Very few military women have the patience (or desire) to subject themselves to this frustrating process, and that's why most fall short of having the meaningful relationships they need to truly enjoy life. Become a Woman Veteran Strong member today and let's get started rebuilding the sense of camaraderie all military people understand. To take the first step, simply click below.
