In 2025, the Road Home Program Outreach Team executed a truly national outreach strategy. Our travel spanned Alaska, Hawaiʻi, Puerto Rico, and all major U.S. regions, with stops at military installations, healthcare partners, universities, and community organizations. Each visit focused on awareness, collaboration, and access to evidence-based mental health care for service members, veterans, and families. 2025 Outreach Snapshot • 20+ cities and installations • ~40,000 miles traveled • 6 U.S. time zones covered • Geographic reach of approximately 3.8 million square miles This level of coverage reflects a deliberate commitment to meeting partners and populations where they live and serve. National focus requires physical presence, consistency, and follow-through. Our team delivered on all three.

We are honored to feature Fitha Dahana-Ellis, MBA, a leader with Wounded Warrior Project and a key partner through the Warrior Care Network. In this episode, Fitha outlines how the Warrior Care Network delivers accelerated, evidence-based brain health treatment by coordinating care across four academic medical centers, including the Road Home Program. She explains how personalized treatment, continuity with a single provider, and proactive removal of barriers contribute to completion rates that exceed traditional models of care. Fitha also speaks from personal experience as a family member who completed the program herself, reinforcing the value of partnership, trust, and follow-through in veteran mental health care. This collaboration continues to strengthen access, outcomes, and long-term support for warriors and their families. #RoadHomeProgram #WoundedWarriorProject #WarriorCareNetwork #VeteranMentalHealth #HealthcarePartnerships #EvidenceBasedCare

As we close out the year, we want to pause and say thank you. Every follow, share, conversation, and moment of attention helped someone learn that support is available. For many veterans and families, that first moment of awareness is what opens the door to care, and from there to the world-class treatment they deserve. We’re grateful for a community that shows up, listens, and helps us reach people when it matters most. This work does not happen alone, and we’re honored to keep doing it together. Wishing you a healthy, hopeful start to the new year.

As we close out 2025, we want to thank our community, partners, and followers for supporting the Road Home Program throughout the year. Awareness leads to access. Access leads to care. And care changes lives. Your engagement helps ensure that veterans and their families know support is available and that world-class treatment is within reach. We’re grateful for the trust, collaboration, and shared commitment that made this year possible. Looking ahead to continuing this work together in 2026.
