Studies show that women veterans face greater challenges than their male counterparts. Yet there are very few programs to help them re-assimilate into civilian life – and many feel left behind.

To answer the call, in 2013 National Veterans Transition Services, Inc. (NVTSI) launched the Women Veterans Initiative we call “OPERATION EMPOWER.” We designed the program to meet the unique needs of women veterans as they transition from military to civilian life. At the heart of EMPOWER is the REBOOT Workshop™ the nation’s only transition program of its kind that EMPOWERS women veterans to succeed.

The REBOOT Workshop™ is based around how we think and how our thoughts impact every facet of our lives. It demonstrates how we let habits, attitudes and beliefs stand in the way of releasing our inner potential. It also reveals how our beliefs and expectations about ourselves, our families, and our futures are directly related to our current realities. The program also shows you how important it is for those that have suffered a traumatic experience in particular, as well as their families, friends and caregivers, to lock on to the power of the mind, and focus on a productive and contributive future.
