What would you like to see in a Wounded Warrior and PTSD recovery and transition center?

There are a lot of programs out there that handle one aspect of the issue or another. Programs for prosthetics, therapy, adventure programs, education, counseling, etc.
If you could create a project for WW and PTSD, with a "one stop shop", what are the things you would like to see made available at that location?
Ideas include, but are not limited to, job retraining, Physical therapy, counseling, chaplain services, education services (what type?), work programs (type), housing, etc...
The sky is the limit, but should be part of a scalable program. What do you see as an essential part of the program?

Great idea for sure. Would you see this along the same lines as the Fisher House where there are a bunch throughout the states? If it was only in one location, hundreds of Veterans and Service Members would have a hard time going to it. Follow up care would be difficult too.

Anything moving forward is a start. This is an issue that we unfortunately have to - one-step-at-a-time - make slow progress. Keeping it in the conversation is half the battle.
