Wilber Jones Home for Veterans Philosophy

WJHV primary focus is working with the veterans…assets instead of their deficits… stated by Bonnie Benard. The Wilber Jones Home for Veterans believes that veterans can obtain self-efficiency, and then help other veterans. WJHV also encourages family mediation to assist family members in understanding why a spouse or child may have behavioral problems. While every family is different, understanding family dynamics is of great impotance that needs addressing to foster healthy and stable family units. According to the 2007 Chaleng Report there are at lest 154,000 homeless veterans that are on the street on any given night. The primary goal of WJHV is to help get our homeless veterans off the streets.
