Please join us in two online communities of encouragement and support. Groups are open to Illinois residents only. Call (312) 942-8387 (VETS) to register.

GET CARE

Trauma and loss often leave people feeling isolated and alone. Support groups allow you to talk to people who understand you and the challenges you face. They offer encouragement with candor and support.

COFFEE WITH CHAPS:

A veteran-to-veteran peer support group

Every other Wednesday, Mark Schimmelpfennig, Chaplain at the Road Home Program, moderates a VETERAN-TO-VETERAN peer support group both online and in-person. Discuss issues related to reintegration, trauma, loss, moral injury, the reestablishment of relationships and whatever else is on your mind.

The group is free to attend and meets both online and in-person.
Every other Wednesday from 1800 – 1930. Register at (312) 942-8387 (VETS). Attend in person at 325 South Paulina Street, 2nd floor Chicago, IL 60612.
