TOGETHER WE ARE

Building a Community

Vantage Point offers a course where you are backed by a community of spouses with shared experiences and understanding. We provide the time, space, and tools to take action aligning who you are with what you want. This weekend course is free of charge for post 9/11 spouses in South Carolina and neighboring states.

You are eligible for this course if you:

Are the current or former spouse or partner of a veteran who served on active duty after September 10th, 2001.
Are a gold star spouse
Are able to commute from outside of South Carolina
Are the spouse or partner of an active duty service member with an established end of service date

EMPOWERMENT & CONNECTION

Our Spouse & Partner Course

The common thread that unites spouses of active duty service members is the shared mission of selfless service. We understand and see each other, lean on each other, and build a community. As we transition alongside our service members, there is a palpable sense of loss. The loss of the community that carried us, and the community we cared for.

Post service life, we often realize we focused on the needs of our veterans and our families without pause to consider our needs and goals. We no longer see a straight path forward. This course offers the opportunity to make peace with the past, connect with ourselves and others in the present, and find what our purpose may look like in the future.
