Menomonie Talk #20: Breaking the Stigma for Military veterans Through Fishing

Struggling with their own identity is a common issue for many female military veterans and a program to help reintegrate back into life has seen plenty of success nationally and locally. On this episode, we learn more about Women’s Rivers of Recovery which hosts FREE outdoor fishing retreats in the Spooner/Hayward Area for female military veterans. Brenda and Jenn share how these experiences greatly assisted them as they left military service and why they now serve as coordinators. We learn what the schedule is for this multi-day events, whereparticipants come from and how being out in nature supports the recovery objective. #peersupport #endthestigma #mentalhealthmatters #recoverycommunity #hopeandhealing #wisconsinmilitary #wisconsinveterans
