Rivers of Recovery
The ROR program impacts the current rehabilitation landscape—changing the way PTS is treated for hundreds of thousands of active-duty military and veterans. Our goal is to provide a crucial step in maximizing our participants’ reintegration and contributions to their families, communities, and society.
Rock Valley Community Programs
In April of 2011 Rock Valley Community Programs, Inc. completed, renovated, and opened 24 dual-occupancy suites with the ability to house up to 48 homeless veterans and provide supportive services. Veterans can stay up to 24 months before transitioning to permanent housing. As of December 2022, RVCP has expanded our transitional housing to accommodate 48 single-occupancy suites.
TAPS
Provides “compassionate care and comprehensive resources for all those grieving the death of a military or veteran loved one.”
“If you’ve lost a family member, loved one, colleague, friend, or battle buddy to suicide (either during or after their service) you have found a safe place with us.”
“If you are grieving the loss of a fallen service member, or if you know someone who can use our support, the TAPS 24/7 National Military Survivor Helpline is always available toll-free with loving support and resources at 800-959-TAPS (8277).”
Custom Canine
The decision to partner with a PTS service dog is a momentous one for most veterans and first responders: trusting an animal to enhance your well-being can provide you with a life-changing experience.
Our PTS Service Dogs support individuals with anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues, and we are careful to ensure that each of our students is teamed with a dog that best suits that person’s capability, lifestyle, mobility, personality, and psychological needs. We match each applicant with the dog that will be their partner, and the power of this partnership transforms both their lives. It is this bond within a working service dog team that makes all of the magic happen.
Wisconsin Veteran Fishing Camp
The “Wisconsin Veterans Fishing Camp” was established to give the opportunity to Veterans from around the state of Wisconsin to attend a fishing camp dedicated to them. This is our way of showing our HEROES how THANKFUL we are for their service to our country, as well as for our FREEDOM.
