Wounded Warrior Project: Patient and Family Support



Patient and Family Support

Our services don’t end when injured service members are ready to check out of the hospital. Programs such as Family Assistance and Benefits Counseling are designed to meet the long-term needs of wounded warriors.

Family Assistance
Injury can create an added financial burden on wounded warriors and their families. During rehabilitation, we help with necessary expenses for families of the wounded, including housing, food, child care, and transportation costs to the hospital so the service member does not have to recover alone.

Benefits Counseling
Benefits counselors work with severely wounded service members as soon as they return to the United States. Counselors provide guidance and help to navigate government benefits available to military personnel and their families. They also help build connections between wounded warriors, establishing a network of peers to provide the necessary assistance, friendship, and inspiration.
