Supporting America’s Elite Heroes and Their Families
Operation Healing Forces (OHF) aims to provide programs that support America’s Special Operations Forces service members. OHF offers a suite of opportunities such as free therapeutic retreats, emergency financial assistance grants, virtual wellness coaching, and a variety of educational and development resources for active duty, wounded, ill, injured, and fallen Special Operations Forces service members, veterans, their families, caregivers, and survivors.
Our mission is to promote long-term mental, physical, emotional, and fiscal well-being for the men and women who make up America’s most elite military units.
Retreat Programs That Strengthen Military Families
OHF offers a couples retreat program that has proved to save marriages and increase resiliency and health among participants. OHF’s therapeutic retreats are one of the very few programs that honor not only the service members, but also their life partners and caregivers.
The program creates strong, positive memories for the couple to heal wounds, repair fissures in relationships, build resiliency, save couples from past trauma, and also strengthen bonds for future continued service in America’s military or as veterans in civilian society.

It also supports expenses like medical and adaptive equipment not provided by the government, and funeral and memorial costs (including family travel) that exceed government coverage. Furthermore, it offers relief or respite care for those providing full-time care, one-time financial aid for transition or employment opportunities (such as travel expenses), and other emergency financial assistance for families facing crises.
