MISSION STATEMENT
THE CAMPUS is dedicated to supporting the mental health and overall well-being of America’s military, police, and uniformed services through structured programs, peer support, and restorative environments that promote resilience, recovery, and long-term success. We exist to stand beside those who have served – helping them rebuild, refocus, and return stronger through accountability, shared experiences, and unwavering support.
Introduction
THE CAMPUS was founded to address gaps in mental health care for veterans and first responders. THE CAMPUS combines clinical support + environment + peer connection. THE CAMPUS is located in a natural, retreat – based setting. Located in the mountains of Fresno County, THE CAMPUS will provide a peaceful retreat and wellness center dedicated to healing because those who have carried the burden of service deserve a place to lay it down.
The problem
Approximately 17-22 veterans die by suicide daily (VA Data). First responders have higher suicide rates than line-of-duty deaths. PTSD prevalence for Iraq/Afghanistan veterans is approximately 11-20%. PTSD prevalence for first responders is up to 30%. The dropout rate from therapy programs is often 40-60%. Unfortunately, traditional therapy alone is not enough. There is a lack of trust-based environments, peer support, long term engagement, and nature-based recovery settings
The solution
THE CAMPUS will offer a hybrid model combining clinical mental health services, peer-based support, retreat-style environment, and structured programs with accountability. THE CAMPUS will offer more than just treatment; we will strive for transformation + reintegration.
Planned services include:
Individual Counseling
Group Therapy
Peer Support Programs
Crisis Intervention Resources
Family Support Programs
Wellness/ resilience Training
Outdoor Recreational Activities
Retreat Lodging for participants
