Healing Invisible Wounds; Mental Health and Fertility Support for Military Families
At Mindful Warrior Alliance, we are on a mission to bring healing, hope, and holistic support to military service members, veterans, and their spouses facing the often-invisible battles of infertility and mental health struggles.
We offer trauma-informed therapy and fertility grants to those who have selflessly served their country—ensuring no one is left to suffer in silence or navigate their family-building journey alone.
Why This Matters
1 in 5 military families struggle with infertility, yet Tricare (the primary military insurance) does not cover fertility treatment.
Stigma and lack of access to care make it hard for service members and veterans to seek mental health support.
Military life often causes emotional strain, especially for spouses and families.
These challenges are real, ongoing, and deeply personal to our founder and many in our community.
What We Provide
Free, confidential therapy with licensed or pre-licensed clinicians
$5,000 fertility grants awarded quarterly
Mindfulness-based support and guided practices from our founder, Kerri Bicskei, a licensed therapist and military spouse
A growing peer community built around compassion and understanding

Let’s build a mindful, compassionate future—together.
1. Fertility Treatment is Not Covered by Military Insurance
Military families often learn the hard way that Tricare does not cover IVF, IUI, or fertility preservation—despite the high incidence of service-connected infertility. This forces couples to pay out-of-pocket, often delaying or giving up on their dream of parenthood.
“We felt hopeless. We could barely afford rent, let alone a $15,000 IVF cycle.”
— Military Spouse & MWA Grant Applicant
2. Mental Health Stigma in the Military Community
Despite rising awareness, many service members and veterans still face deep stigma around seeking therapy. Fear of career repercussions or appearing “weak” leads many to suppress trauma, anxiety, and grief.
Our therapy is confidential and off-the-record—no paper trail, no judgment.
3. Limited Access to Specialized, Trauma-Informed Care
Many military families live in areas where there are few or no providers experienced in both fertility trauma and military-related stress. Even fewer offer culturally competent or trauma-informed care.
Our intern therapist are trained to understand both military culture and reproductive trauma.
4. Isolation and Emotional Burnout
Spouses and caregivers often carry emotional burdens alone, especially when stationed far from family or support systems. They struggle with feeling unseen, unheard, and unsupported.
?? Our online community offers a safe space to connect, heal, and be heard.
5. Cost Barriers to Mental Health and Fertility Support
Without grants or subsidized care, most families cannot afford the services they need. Many choose between therapy and groceries—or give up on treatment entirely.
That’s why your donation is critical. It helps lift the financial burden for families already carrying so much.
Our Solution
At Mindful Warrior Alliance, we bridge the gap between service and support by offering a comprehensive, accessible, and compassionate care model tailored to military families.
Confidential, Trauma-Informed Therapy
We provide free or low-cost therapy sessions with licensed and pre-licensed clinicians trained in military culture, trauma, and fertility-related emotional health. These sessions are off-the-record, ensuring total privacy for our clients.
“I finally felt safe enough to talk about what I was going through.”
Fertility Grants with No Red Tape
Each quarter, we award $5,000 fertility grants to active duty, veteran, or military spouse applicants navigating IUI, IVF, or egg preservation. Our application process is simple, fast, and stigma-free.
“This grant gave us a chance we thought we’d lost.”
Mindfulness-Based Support
Through guided meditations, educational content, and mental performance coaching from our founder Kerri Bicskei—a therapist and military spouse—we help families manage stress, stay grounded, and build emotional resilience.
“Kerri’s voice and story made me feel seen in a way I hadn’t before.”
Community That Understands
We’re creating a safe, members-only community for military families navigating infertility and emotional challenges—a virtual space to feel heard, connected, and uplifted.
Sustainable, Scalable Impact
We’re building partnerships with fertility clinics, military hospitals, and therapists nationwide to scale our services and reach more families who need us—without compromise or delay.
