WHY FIDELIS?

Fidelis Family Retreat focuses on the family as a unit.

Many organizations exist for the veteran. Fidelis serves the whole family.

TAKE THE SURVEY

We are working to better understand how the veteran story impacts the veteran family, caregivers and the community. 3 different surveys provide research to present the need for expanded services through the VA by partnering with Fidelis Family Retreat.

Please select the survey that best fits you: Veteran, Caregiver, Family Member or Friend.

Fidelis Family Retreat will not sell or share your personal information. Survey responses will only be used for the purpose of this study to show the needs for veteran families.
