Cadre R & R

This R & R is specifically for Cadre/Staff and family. As these men and women provide care for the wounded, injured and ill they often suffer from compassion fatigue and/or secondary PTSD. Just like the people they are ministering to, they need a break from time to time. This weekend in the Hill Country is designed with that in mind.
