About HW

Mission:

The mission of Hidden Wounds, a non-profit organization, is to provide peace of mind and comfort for military personnel suffering from combat stress injuries such as PTSD, TBI, and other psychological post war challenges until such time as the Veteran’s Administration or the Veteran’s Affairs agencies are prepared to deliver long-term services to our clients through government programs.  Hidden Wounds also seeks to save lives through fundraising efforts that allow Hidden Wounds to provide counseling and act as a liaison between counselors, veterans, and families, and to provide publicity to dispel fear, lower the stigma, and grant the will to overcome emotional and psychological challenges to our military heroes.

Vision:

Hidden Wounds intends to offer services to clients in the greater Columbia, SC area providing awareness of our services to prospective clients’ families through meetings organized by the Dorn VA Hospital. The vision is to expand our service coverage area to other Vet Centers in the midlands and then to other VA hospitals across the state. Ultimately, we will enlist like-minded people in neighboring states to start satellite programs that would eventually serve the veterans’ of their state.  We hope to replicate operations of the Columbia organization to become an eventual national headquarters.
