The Coming Home Project
Invite reviews
My Experience has been excellent. I am a professional coming in to teach classes, and the staff is A one. The Coming Home Project is highly professional, helpful, friendly and well orchestrated. I have consistently heard positive feedback from participants at every function. Clearly the entire system is a reflection of the excellence of those that are running the program from the top.

it was wonderful and inspiring. Really empress with the locations, food, kayaking experiences. this retreat has given me the strength s that I have needed for same time now.I kayaked for the first time and I was not afraid. It was so fun and exciting. I never thought that this could ever happen to me. Everyone else has these kinds of opportunities, but not me. My muscles are sore from the hills and fun but, I don’t care. I feel so good and I wish it could last forever. I wish my family were here.

We could have the oppurtunity to go again with just female veterans and maybe stay longer time in the same retreat location in California. I would have enjoyed more free time . I did wish we all could have arrived on time . I wish we didnt get up so early

Thoughtful collection of caregivers -- I've seen many hugely touched at the two retreats I've attended. DoD caregivers are often overworked with little relief. The Coming Home Project gives a weekend of rest and a lifetime of skills. I highly recommend their retreats for those needing rest.

The Coming Home Project has been an incredible experience as a volunteer Therapist. The training and discussions regarding veterans issues has helped my understanding of the unique elements of the military culture. The leadership are compassionate and insightful into the complexities of this work.

I attended the 'Service Provider' retreat and wow, what a wonderful experience! The Coming Home Project staff takes excellent care of you and ensures all your need are met. I truly enjoyed the decussions,listening and sharing with others who assist veterans and family members. There is no pressure and it's a 'judgement free' zone. It was great to meet and connect with others and having time to be with myself when needed. I highy recommend this program and encourage the service members and families to attend. The food is great too!

My family as a whole benifitted from our CHP retreat. It has opened my spouses eyes to the fact that we are not the only family going though this. It helped my son discover that there are other military families out there. And it showed me that there is a force to help during the tough times. Keeping a positive community around us, to include the CHP is now estential. The All Women Vet conference has to be a one of a kind experience. I've never heard of such a thing until the CHP did it in Oct 2009. The CHP is on the cutting edge of how to help us Vets.

Because of the dedicated service of the Coming Home Project for the military and veterans who have served in Iraq and Afganistan, and the integrity and high esteem of the organization in the therapeutic community,I chose to become a volunteer therapist. I have been working with a Marine who has served two tours of duty in Iraq and he states that his experience in therapy has changed his relationship to his past, his self, and his relationships. The support for Veterans and for clinicians is exemplary, and the difference that is being made with Veterans will have far reaching effects. I have been a therapist for over 20 years and have managed many non-profit programs, and CHP is one of the finest I have ever known. I truly hope they are honored for their amazing contribution.
The Great!
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
seeing the difference in a veterans relationship to himself and his life. When he began therapy he was drinking and using drugs daily, and he is now working recovery, getting all A's in his college classes, has a positive relationship with his family.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
want it to have more visibility to be able to reach more veterans and their families, and to inspire more therapists to volunteer their time to make a huge difference through therapy and the healing that occurs through the retreats.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
working with the veteran, the clinical support I receive through continuing education and the case consultation group offered for therapists.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
highly professional, with the highest integrity, and dedicated to healing for the survivors of war.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
make a huge difference in healing the wounds of war and creating world peace.
Ways to make it better...
All has been excellent!!
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
needing more visibility and more funding to be able to reach more veterans and their families.
One thing I'd also say is that...
of my full psychotherapy practice, the veteran I am working with is the most dedicated client I have ever worked with. He recently said that because of his work in therapy, he can feel himself healing and now wants to live his life fully.

The Coming Home Project provided an opportunity to genuinely connect with other female veterans in a way that was deeper than any connection I made since returning from the war. For four days we were provided free accomodations, travel, and expert counselors,and the like. In fact, it was due to this experience that I felt a call to go back into the military to serve as a Chaplain!
