VETERAN SERVICES
Upstate Warrior Solution exists to ensure local veterans, first responders, and families have the resources they need to thrive. Our county-based Warrior Advocate teams offer boots-on-the-ground support to those we serve. They operate as resource navigators, case managers, and a friendly face when our warriors need it most.
Our work is built on knee-to-knee case coordination for a range of essential needs including: health care, benefits, housing, education, employment, mental and behavioral health, recreation, family services, and more.
FIRST RESPONDER SERVICES
Like our veterans, our first responders answer the call to serve. That service often comes with many of the same challenges, including service-related injuries, PTSD, and vicarious trauma. Through our First Responder Program we strive to fill the critical resource gap for local law enforcement, fire fighters, and EMS personnel. When our first responders are healthy and whole, our entire community is strengthened.
Family Services
Our warriors don’t serve alone. Their families provide irreplaceable support while making their own sacrifices and carrying their own aspirations. Our Family Services Program provides opportunities and resources that serve the whole person: therapeutic art classes (provided in partnership with Premier Arts Collective), personal development courses, educational events for children, hike outings, Operation Christmas Blessings, and more.
Our Family Services Program offers events and activities to help participants connect with other warrior spouses and families.
