WoVeN Groups – The Heartbeat of WoVeN
Joining a WoVeN group is a great way to connect with other women Veterans within the WoVeN community. Each WoVeN group consists of 6-10 members and is led by two woman Veterans who have been trained as peer leaders. In total, there are eight meetings with each running about 90 minutes. Each group meeting focuses on a specific theme that was selected by other women Veterans. WoVeN groups are designed to enhance wellness, relationships, and a sense of community through thoughtful discussions.
In our groups you can expect:
- An environment that is safe and welcoming
- Opportunities to reflect on important life topics that are relevant to women veterans and
- A chance to build friendships across the nation.
Depending on Peer Leader availability, WoVeN groups can happen either in-person at local facilities (e.g., libraries, cafes) or online via Zoom. Attending an online group is a great way to get connected with the national community, especially if you don’t live near a WoVeN Peer Leader for in-person sessions!
New groups start each month! Once you enroll with WoVeN, you will receive a confirmation email from the WoVeN team with a link to the group calendar. This is where you will be able to see all upcoming groups and secure your spot!
Connect with the Community
Unable to commit to an 8-week group at this time but want to connect with the community? Consider attending one of our monthly WoVeN at Large meetings on Zoom! These meetings are a great way to meet other women Veterans, connect over shared experiences, and learn more about what’s new in the community.
WoVeN also hosts many annual virtual events! Examples include our National Summit, Women Veterans Day, WoVeN’s Birthday event, or groups on major holidays. Our national events always have high energy, fun activities, and even opportunities to win WoVeN swag!
Any woman Veteran, regardless of their involvement, is welcome to attend these events or meetings! You can check out our event calendar here at any time.
With WoVeN, you can take that shield down and have a place in a group of individuals who have been there, done that, gone through what you have gone through. You can share and feel free to express your concerns and worries and make it better for yourself.
