Wellness
Our wellness pillar invites you to recharge and restore through immersive retreats tailored specifically for SOF spouses, focusing on holistic health that nurtures body, mind, and spirit. These transformative experiences blend mindfulness practices, physical activities, and therapeutic workshops in serene settings, helping you address the accumulated stress of frequent separations, secrecy, and high-stakes family dynamics. By prioritizing self-care and community connection, our retreats equip you with tools to combat burnout, enhance emotional well-being, and cultivate inner strength, ensuring that the invisible burdens of service are lifted, allowing you to return to your daily life with renewed vitality and a deeper sense of purpose.
Your Wellness Matters
SOF spouses face unique and intense stressors—from unpredictable deployments and operational secrecy to prolonged separations—that often exceed those experienced by the broader military community. These challenges contribute to elevated rates of anxiety, depression, and burnout, with a significantly lower percentage of SOF spouses reporting "good" mental health status compared to conventional force spouses.
Research highlights additional concerns: high work-family conflict, rural isolation, and chronic sleep deprivation. More than 60% of military spouses report recent anxiety symptoms, 25% have been diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder, and only 41% get adequate rest. The compounded effects of solo parenting, financial strain, and emotional fatigue can lead to serious mental health issues—including suicidal thoughts in approximately 5% of military spouses.
Without targeted wellness support, these stressors erode family stability and readiness across the force. By providing holistic, evidence-based wellness initiatives and restorative retreats, The Pleiades Sisterhood helps alleviate these burdens and fosters lasting resilience—strengthening both SOF families and the foundation of our nation’s elite military community.How We Serve Your Wellness Needs
