Virginia Wounded Warrior Program
The Virginia Wounded Warrior Program (VWWP) monitors and coordinates behavioral health, rehabilitative, and support services through an integrated, comprehensive and responsive system of public and private partnerships. VWWP facilitates these services for Virginia veterans, members of the Virginia National Guard and Armed Forces Reserves (not in federal service), and their families with a special emphasis on those affected by stress related conditions or traumatic brain injuries resulting from military service.
VWWP will be rebranded to Virginia Veteran and Family Support on October 1, 2015. Our program’s new brand is wellness focused and incorporates the family unit. The new brand avoids references to wounds, illness, or injuries in order to help ensure that those we seek to serve are more comfortable in seeking and accepting assistance.
