The Sheepdog Coalition CAREs for our esteemed special operations veterans! We understand that transitioning from military to civilian life can be challenging, filled with unique obstacles and uncertainties. That's why we have designed our program with a comprehensive approach based on the principles of CARE: Camaraderie, Alternatives, Resiliency, and Education. At our core, we believe in the power of camaraderie. We recognize the deep bond that forms among individuals who have served together, and we aim to recreate that sense of unity within our program. Through shared experiences, group activities, and support networks, we foster an environment where veterans can connect with one another, find solace in understanding, and build lifelong friendships - Long Live the Brotherhood!

We also understand that every veteran's path is different, and that's why we provide a wide range of alternatives. Whether through personal development or mental health resources, our program offers diverse options for individual needs. We strive to empower veterans with the freedom and opportunities to enable them to navigate their post-military life with purpose and confidence. Resiliency lies at the heart of that confidence. We recognize the strength and determination of our veterans, and we aim to bolster that resiliency through our unique program by guiding special operations veterans in what they were built to do - overcome challenges, adapt to new environments, and thrive in the face of adversity. Lastly, we firmly believe in the transformative power of education. Whether pursuing higher education, honing vocational skills, or seeking personal enrichment, our program is designed to facilitate growth and learning. With our network of educational resources, mentorship programs, and access to a range of experts, we strive to equip each veteran with the knowledge and expertise necessary to achieve any goal.

Join us on this remarkable journey as we CARE for our special operations combat veterans. Together, we can foster a community of support, empowerment, and personal growth. Their service to our nation deserves our utmost dedication, and we’re committed to ensuring them a long and fulfilled life after service.

Veterans Affairs Discovery

Every Special Operations Veteran is guided through a VA Discovery session that explores benefits, pensions and compensation, medical history, medications and treatments, and state benefits and resources. Veterans have an account of needing to utilize, be made aware of, or are unfamiliar with the process of accessing the benefits afforded to them. We aim to help each veteran maximize the care and benefits afforded to them at the state and federal levels. They’ve earned it; we want to ensure they take advantage of it.

mental health evaluation

At The Sheepdog Coalition, we understand the stigma, hesitancy, and concerns around mental health within the special operations community. To address these challenges, we have carefully designed a noninvasive and streamlined evaluation process tailored to meet our veterans' needs. Our team comprises highly skilled clinical professionals specializing in psychiatry, social work, and veterans' mental health to ensure our procedures are overseen with expertise and compassion. We recognize the importance of conducting a valid mental health assessment, which is a crucial step in our veteran intake protocol. We also go the extra mile by offering referrals to exceptional resources and support networks that can provide additional specialized care and alternatives outside our capabilities.
