  • FITNP2 Vet Chat – Empowerment & Connection for Women Veterans - Vet Chat: Empowerment & Connection is a year‑long initiative dedicated to supporting and uplifting Women Veterans through meaningful community, shared experiences, and intentional wellness practices. The program delivers six cycles of 90‑minute, four‑week virtual peer support and wellness sessions, each culminating in a fifth‑week in‑person gathering that celebrates growth, strengthens bonds, and reinforces lasting connections.
    Purpose
    This initiative creates a safe, supportive space where Women Veterans can build meaningful peer networks while strengthening their social connection, mental, physical, spiritual, and financial wellness. By fostering these areas of resilience, Vet Chat aims to enhance overall well‑being and empower women to thrive beyond their military service.
    Mission
    We recognize that isolation is a significant challenge for many Women Veterans. Vet Chat is committed to combating loneliness, reducing the risk of depression, and preventing suicide by cultivating authentic connections and a strong sense of community. Through consistent engagement and shared experiences, participants gain the support they need to navigate life with confidence and clarity.
    Vision
    Our ultimate goal is to ensure that every Woman Veteran feels seen, supported, and empowered — knowing she is never alone on her journey. Vet Chat strives to build a community where women can reconnect with themselves and each other, creating a foundation of sisterhood that lasts far beyond the program.
