Why it matters

They come home with no time to rest. There's family, work, and everyone else who needs them, and their own healing never makes the list. At the retreat they get three days outside with other women who understand, alongside trauma therapists, trail guides and mentors. A sponsored kit means she arrives with everything she needs — and nothing on her mind but healing.

Who's behind this

A little about me

I'm Beau Laviolette, LCSW-BACS, a licensed clinical social worker in Louisiana. I started Healing Protectors to run free 2.5-day nature retreats for military veterans, led by trauma therapists with trail guides and mentors alongside, followed by monthly support groups so the work doesn't stop when they drive home. This November is our first Women Veterans Retreat.
