National Center for Healthy Veterans

Our veterans have pledged their lives for our freedom, security, and prosperity. Healthy veterans are productive members of society, good employees, and positive role models, but not all of our veterans are healthy.

At NCHV we take a faith-based, holistic approach to “Returning Healthy Veterans to America” in the natural healing environment of Valor Farm near Altavista, Virginia. Our Patriots – as we call the Veterans who participate in our programs – live and perform dignified work in community while participating in resilience, trauma recovery, and career preparation programs. As the nation’s premier faith-based program for veterans, we employ a variety of experiential and technology-based approaches that support the physical, mental, spiritual, emotional, and relational healing for America’s veterans and their families.

The nine month NCHV residential program is a golden opportunity to “get unstuck,” to move past trauma and transition challenges into a lifetime of personal and professional contribution and success. More than other mental health or suicide prevention programs for veterans, NCHV treats the whole person; body, mind and soul. 

The National Center for Healthy Veterans serves at-risk veterans, who we call Patriots, who are willing to invest nine months at Valor Farm for a “reset and restart.” We expect them to commit to change, be willing to work toward re-optimizing their daily performance, and to restore family and other relationships.
