All too often, veterans leave the military and struggle to adapt to everyday civilian life. Too often, they are not able to access the resources specifically designed to help them thrive again. It is that very challenge that Josh’s House addresses every day through events, recreational activities, and a variety of wellness-focused services. Learn about their history, mission, and what they do to help Vermont veterans. Take a moment to watch the video below and hear their story.
