Sending Heroes Into Paradise

Rejuvenating Mental Health Retreats for Veterans and Spouses

One of our most impactful initiatives is the Sending Heroes Into Paradise (S.H.I.P.) program, which offers all-inclusive mental health retreats designed to rejuvenate and support veterans and their spouses.

The Importance of Mental Health for Veterans and Spouses

Transitioning from military to civilian life can be a challenging experience for veterans and their families. Many veterans face mental health issues such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and anxiety as a result of their service. Additionally, spouses often shoulder the burden of supporting their partners through these challenges while also managing their own stress and emotions.

Recognizing the unique needs of veterans and their spouses, the Salute The Troops Foundation created the S.H.I.P. program to provide a safe and supportive environment where participants can focus on their mental health and well-being.

What is S.H.I.P.?

Sending Heroes Into Paradise (S.H.I.P.) is an innovative program that offers veterans and their spouses the opportunity to attend all-inclusive mental health retreats. These retreats are designed to provide participants with a break from their day-to-day routines, allowing them to relax, recharge, and reconnect with themselves and their loved ones.

Each S.H.I.P. retreat includes:

• A 5-7 day cruise for a veteran and spouse
• Airfare to and from the cruise destination
• Luxury transportation to and from the airport
• On-board spending credit for shore excursions, gifts, etc.
• All-inclusive meal and beverage package
