STRENGTH IN VULNERABILITY

Strength isn’t just about physical power or courage in the face of danger. It’s also about the courage to be vulnerable, to reach out, to say, ‘I need help.’ In the military, vulnerability might seem like a weakness, but in the battle against mental health issues, it’s our greatest strength. IW understands this. Their Silkies Hikes and events aren’t just about physical endurance or military traditions, they’re about opening up, sharing experiences, and acknowledging struggles. By creating a safe space where veterans can be their authentic, irreverent selves, IW is redefining strength. It’s here, amidst the laughter and shared stories, that veterans find the strength to face their battles and the reassurance that they don’t have to face them alone.
