Spouses
VRP Recognizes The Importance Of Supporting Military And Veteran Spouses
Military and Veteran Spouses play a vital role in supporting their partners through the unique challenges and demands of military life. However, this role often comes with its own set of mental health challenges, stemming from the stresses, uncertainties, and frequent transitions associated with military service. The Veteran Resilience Project recognizes the importance of supporting Military and Veteran Spouses in maintaining their mental health and well-being.
Challenges faced by Military and Veteran Spouses
Stress & anxiety
Frequent relocations, deployments, and separations from their partners can lead to feelings of isolation, loneliness, and uncertainty about the future. Additionally, the constant need to adapt to new environments and establish support networks can contribute to ongoing stress and anxiety.
Depression
The challenges of balancing family responsibilities, maintaining relationships, and managing their own careers in the absence of their partner can take a toll on their emotional well-being. Feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and frustration may arise, particularly during extended periods of separation or when faced with significant life changes.
Trauma
Trauma is a prevalent issue for Military and Veteran spouses. Witnessing the physical and emotional toll of military service on their partners, coping with the aftermath of traumatic experiences, and navigating the complexities of reintegration can lead to symptoms of trauma-related disorders.
Understand Supporting Military and Veteran Spouses
The Veteran Resilience Project is committed to supporting Military and Veteran Spouses in addressing these mental health challenges through Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy.
Through trauma-informed care and EMDR Therapy, the Veteran Resilience Project aims to empower military and Veteran Spouses to overcome challenges, build resilience, and reclaim their well-being.
Our compassionate and experienced team provides the support and resources necessary to help spouses thrive in the face of adversity and uncertainty.
Trauma-Informed Care
Trauma-informed care acknowledges the impact of trauma on individuals' lives and emphasizes safety, trustworthiness, choice, collaboration, and empowerment in the healing process.
Our team at the Veteran Resilience Project is trained to provide trauma-informed support tailored to the unique needs and experiences of Military and Veteran Spouses.
EMDR Therapy
EMDR Therapy offers a structured and effective approach to addressing trauma-related symptoms while promoting healing. By targeting traumatic memories and experiences, EMDR Therapy helps individuals process and integrate these memories in a safe and controlled manner, reducing distress and promoting emotional resilience.
This approach is particularly beneficial for Military and Veteran Spouses who may have experienced trauma indirectly or are struggling with vicarious trauma or Secondary PTSD.
“Your story matters, and it’s okay to take time to heal from the chapters that hurt the most.”
The cornerstone approach to our Trauma-Informed care is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy. EMDR Therapy is a research-backed treatment method that has shown remarkable effectiveness in helping individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences.
For all Minnesota Veterans, not dependent on discharge status, Service Members, and Spouses.

It empowers Veterans to confront and process their trauma in a safe and controlled environment, leading to significant reductions in symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, and depression.
