Operation Restoration

A faith-based initiative helping military service members, veterans, and their families receive mental and emotional support through therapeutic and educational services provided by Family Care and Counseling, Inc.

The Need Is Great

- Post-traumatic stress affects an estimated 30% of veterans deployed once.

- Nearly 48% of male veterans with PTSD experience clinical depression.

- Separation anxiety affects families of deployed service members.

- Nearly 4,000 families have experienced the loss of loved ones deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq.

- More than 29,000 U.S. troops have been wounded in action in those conflicts.

- Infidelity is an increasingly common challenge for service members and their spouses.

- Substance abuse and violence affect many veterans returning from overseas deployments.

- Suicide continues to impact veterans and active-duty service members—sometimes as many as 22 deaths per day.

The effects of war and prolonged separation from family can be tragic and long-lasting.

What We Are Doing

Inspired by Nehemiah’s mission to restore Jerusalem’s walls—and the hearts and spirits of its people—Family Care and Counseling, Inc. responds to the needs of those who defend our freedom.

Operation Restoration provides hope and healing through:

- Specialized professional counseling and therapy

- Educational services

- Ongoing support for veterans and their families

- Assistance with personal recovery, family renewal, and life restoration

Why Restoration Matters

Behaviors developed in combat are often survival skills formed under extreme conditions. After returning home, these skills can become barriers to healthy family and community life.

Families may struggle to understand heightened vigilance, flashbacks, anxiety, depression, and other effects of military service. Operation Restoration helps veterans and their loved ones navigate these challenges with dignity, respect, and excellence.
