PFC JOSEPH P. DWYER PEER SUPPORT PROGRAM
Honoring the memory of PFC Joseph P. Dwyer and his legacy of service, the mission of our PFC Joseph P. Dwyer Peer Support Program is to empower Veterans to reconnect with one another. These connections create strong bonds which foster hope and resilience as they transition from military to Veteran life – and there is NO timeline for transition.
The PFC Joseph P. Dwyer Peer Support Program brings United States Armed Forces Veterans, service members, and their families together through free programs. Veteran centered peer-to-peer collaborative services, social activities, and community service.
This program is facilitated through a collaborative team from the Administrator’s Office, Community Services, Treasurer’s Office, Personnel Office and Veterans Service Agency.
The Allegany County Dwyer Program is one of many Dwyer Programs in New York State. If you’re looking for different events, visit the NYS Dwyer Coalition website for other events Veteran may choose to attend. Their website is: https://www.josephpdwyerpeerproject.org/nys-county-events-calendar

Healing Haven is a first-of-its-kind peer-to-peer initiative created specifically for the spouses of Service Members and Veterans. This groundbreaking endeavor recognizes that Military Spouses shoulder unique emotional and psychological stressors, yet often lack a dedicated space to gather in community.
Healing Haven creates that space — a safe, supportive environment where Military Spouses can come together, share openly, and take part in guided sessions focused on stress relief, positive mental health, and meaningful self-care.
Participation is entirely free for all Military Spouses who would like to join tonight’s session or any future session. As a reminder, the cadence of these sessions is:
✅ 1st Monday of every month at 7 p.m. – Stress Relief for Military Spouses (60-minutes)
✅ 3rd Monday of every month at 7 p.m. – Self-Care Tools for Military Families (60-minutes)
