Military and Veteran Resilience and Health Collaborative

Improving the quality of life of service members, veterans, first responders

The College of Health Solutions Military and Veteran Resilience and Health Collaborative is committed to addressing the unique challenges and improving the quality of life of service members, veterans, first responders and their families throughout their journey utilizing innovative prevention and intervention strategies.

Serving as a catalyst for cross-sector collaboration among military, public safety, industry, government and academia, our vision is to improve outcomes and enhance the resilience, health, and human performance of service members, veterans, first responders and their families. We actively identify areas of opportunity to conduct interdisciplinary research, develop research-driven programming and evidence-based education, and implement innovative programs through collaborative partnerships to achieve results and support those who serve.

Warrior Health and Fitness program

The Warrior Health and Fitness program for Arizona veterans and their families is provided by Home Base and the Military and Veteran Resilience and Health Collaborative at the College of Health Solutions.

WH&F is a free, 90-day program designed to improve health and wellbeing through supervised physical exercise and education on healthy eating, living, stress management and the benefits of physical activity. Veterans and their families have the opportunity to engage with one another and build lasting connections with their peers.
