NEEDS ASSESSMENT
The needs assessment identifies areas where we can come alongside our veterans and their support system. Familes are then connected to relevant services, classes and activities.
Support services help the veteran and their family build broader support structures to maximize community, well being and civilian engagement.

Family coaching helps build awareness, understanding and communication skills to enhance the veteran support system. Understanding the impacts of prior military service, family systems that developed while the veteran was deployed or active duty and integrating the family back together into a more integrated functioning unit are primary goals of family coaching.
Peer to peer support is available to both veterans, spouses and broader support system members. Individuals are connected with people that have shared similar experiences and are further along in their journey.
Play therapy help veterans engage and re-connect with spouses, children and others in a less threatening and active situation. Play therapy is an effective tool for increasing interaction, moving past barriers and stronger family dynamic and overall support.
Support groups are for veterans and those supporting veterans including family members, friends and other veterans.
Groups meet from 6PM - 7PM at the Greater Chapin Chamber of Commerce, 302 Columbia Ave., Chapin, SC.
Childcare available upon request.
Veteran and Support Systems Group - 4th Thursday each month. Explore relationship building, re-integrating into the community, goals for the future and resources for help.

Attention Chapin Area Military-Connected and Veteran Families! We have a special club launching in mid-October at three of our area schools for the 2024/2025 school year.
The Unsung Heroes Club is a fun, supportive social club led by a veteran-connected mentor and a school staff member. We play games, eat snacks, and enjoy fellowship with people who understand that kids serve right alongside their family members.
Fidelis Family Retreat and Team Landolph are excited to offer this club at Chapin Elementary School, Piney Woods Elementary School, and Chapin Intermediate School.
Choose the link for your school and let us know a little more about you. We would love to send you more information and invite your student(s) to join in the fun!
Students and their families are invited to a special celebration: The Veteran Family Meet and Mingle. Join us April 4th from 5:30pm - 7:30pm on the fields behind Chapin Elementary School.
