ABOUT OUR HEALTH PILLAR

We promote the physical, cognitive, and emotional well-being of NSW personnel, veterans, and families through comprehensive, evidence-based care. Our programs help warriors overcome chronic injuries, rebuild performance, and strengthen long-term health through specialized training, nutrition guidance, and mental fitness support. We stand with families facing serious illness or injury by easing daily burdens with travel assistance, adaptive equipment, respite services, and caregiver support. We expand access to brain and mental health treatment through specialized therapies, recovery resources, and help for substance use care. When hardship arises, we deliver timely crisis assistance that stabilizes veterans and connects them to longer-term solutions. All of this work reflects our commitment to the community's health and readiness.

Programs

Warrior Fitness Program

The Warrior Fitness Program transforms lives by helping NSW personnel overcome chronic injuries and regain strength, confidence, and tenacity. This comprehensive four-week program, guided by elite trainers, nutritionists, and mental health experts, equips participants to optimize performance and build lasting physical and cognitive health. As an adjunct to the program, Warrior House provides fully ADA-compliant, supportive housing for program participants, ensuring accessibility and comfort throughout their healing journey. By blending expert care with a community-focused environment, the Warrior Fitness Program empowers warriors to reclaim their well-being and future potential.

Wounded, Ill, and Injured

We stand beside NSW personnel and their families during times of serious illness or injury, providing the resources and care they need to focus on healing. From travel assistance for medical appointments and rehabilitation to childcare, respite care, cleaning services, and adaptive equipment, we ease daily burdens and reduce stress in the most challenging moments. Recognizing the role of caregivers, we also provide tailored assistance that builds their capacity and reduces stress. Through compassionate, customized support, we help families maintain dignity and hope throughout recovery.

Brain and Mental Health

We invest in the brain health and emotional well-being of NSW personnel and their families by providing access to cutting-edge therapies, expert providers, and comprehensive resources. From cognitive optimization and recovery programs to art therapy, family counseling, and specialized care, we deliver evidence-based support that strengthens resilience and quality of life. We also break down barriers to treatment by offering financial and logistical assistance for substance use disorder care beyond traditional insurance coverage. Through these efforts, we empower warriors and families to heal, safeguard their mental health, and thrive long term.

Crisis Assistance

We stand by NSW veterans during transitions or unexpected hardship with timely grants and targeted resources. Support addresses emergencies, financial strain, housing needs, and other urgent challenges that threaten stability. By acting quickly and coordinating with trusted partners, we provide immediate relief while connecting veterans to longer-term solutions. This assistance honors their service, reinforces the community’s enduring bonds, and ensures former SEALs and SWCCs have the backing they need to regain their footing and move forward.

Thank you so much for this opportunity... I have learned a ton from the different modalities and think that I have grown during this program. I would and have recommended this to a ton of friends both on active duty and retired. One of the more important aspects of this program was the NSF briefs which included videos and a venue to talk about different concerns within the community whether being mental health or retirement.

And I'm convinced that we are able to take extra risks and efforts. We mitigate risk as much as we can but all of our guys are comfortable knowing that they have the support of another family with the Navy SEAL Foundation behind them that allows them to be comfortable. Because if they get injured, they know that there are other resources there.
