San Diego Wives!

Attention San Diego Wives...

Shadow Mountain Community Church in El Cajon, California (San Diego), has a military wives ministry that meets Tuesday nights for Bible study, prayer, and fellowship (child care is provided). The church’s senior pastor’s wife also hosts two or three gatherings a year at her home, for the military wives. Additionally, we usually have a couple of special events throughout the year, most recently being a military wives tea, featuring a prominent television news figure, herself a Christian wife of a Navy veteran. Our group includes wives of active duty – all branches, all rates and ranks, officers and enlisted.

Resources For Vets & Their Families

Recent studies tell us that nearly a third of veterans who seek care through Veterans Administration (VA) health centers receive mental health diagnoses. With more and more soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan with mental health concerns, NAMI recognizes the need for increased services for veterans and their families. With our Veterans Resources Center, we have attempted to consolidate the most useful online resources. Whether you are looking for information on Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, mental illness, or how to obtain Veterans Administration (VA) benefits, we have tried to provide an extensive list of sites online where you can find that information.
