We honor the sacrifices of combat veterans by providing the services and support they need to succeed in civilian life.
Passport To Independence
Veterans in crisis enter Five STAR Veterans Center in their darkest hour. Sometimes we are their last hope.
Passport to Independence is an intensive 6 to 12 month program that takes the individual veteran and creates a plan to achieve their goals.
We provide the stability of on-site housing and 24 hour a day mental health service. The veteran is immersed in different modalities of therapy and outreach events to get them back to long term independent living.
At Five STAR Veterans Center we understand that there is no one answer to healing a veteran.
Why is this important?
Post 9/11 combat veterans survived traumatic wounds due to advanced military equipment and battlefield medicine; these physical injuries often contribute to complex mental health issues.
Recent estimates cite the prolonged and multiple deployments impacting the mental health of almost 600,000 warriors. A veteran’s invisible wounds will last a lifetime and require specialized mental health services and physical care.
These wounds left untreated, the invisible wounds of war can prevent veterans from moving forward and enjoying their lives.
However, it is a daily challenge to access the services they need.
