National Association for Veteran and First Responder Wellness (NAVFRW)
Advancing Wellness for Those Who Serve_
NAVFRW exists to close the gap between intention and impact in veteran and first responder wellness. We unite experts from healthcare, public safety, academia, and government to share knowledge, strengthen systems of care, and build solutions that last.
Our members are not just talking about wellness, they are building it. Through training, data-driven best practices, and partnerships across every level of care, we help organizations turn good ideas into measurable outcomes.
We host national and regional summits, publish shared resources, and support collaboration that improves access, readiness, and resilience across the country.
Our vision is simple. A connected national network that ensures every veteran and first responder has access to real, practical, and high-quality support.
Join us. Collaborate. Lead the change in how our nation supports those who serve.
