the younger heroes

The Younger Heroes is a not-for-profit organisation that has been created to STRENGTHEN FAMILIES. The primary focus is Veteran Families and First Responders as many parents have undergone multiple tours of duty overseas and/or spend significant amount of time away from home and in many cases, there has been a family supporting them from the home front. Many sacrifices are asked of the Veteran and/or First Responder but time away from family is often cited as a key stressor. Time away from children in their formative stages of life is a sacrifice that many parents lament. The Younger Heroes exists to help the children spend precious time with their parent in a safe, distraction-free setting in remote, secluded properties that allow parents and children to reconnect. The two night/three-day program aims to improve the quality of the relationship between the parent and child. We focus on: - Strengthening Family Bonds - Building Resilience - Communication - Encouraging Teamwork - Empowering the children Key learnings from the program are encouraged to be practised back on the home front to enhance families to reconnect.
