The SOAR Family Collaborative supports soldiers and families of the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment through programs that promote well-being and strengthen the special operations family experience.
We identify the specific needs of Night Stalker families, connect them to resources, and provide opportunities that build resilience, connection, and community.
From marriage retreats to family adventure weekends to spouse workshops, we create spaces where families can share challenges, celebrate strengths, and know they're not alone.
Strengthening marriages through communication tools, connection, and time away from military demands.
Outdoor adventures and team-building experiences that bring families together and strengthen bonds.
Resources, tools, and peer support to navigate the unique challenges of the Night Stalker community.
Social gatherings that build friendships, share stories, and create the sense of belonging we all need.
The demands of serving in the 160th are unlike any other. Long deployments, high-tempo operations, and the constant stress of special operations take a toll on soldiers and their families.
Strong families create strong soldiers. When families are connected, supported, and resilient, soldiers can focus on mission knowing their loved ones are cared for. The SOAR Family Collaborative ensures no Night Stalker family faces these challenges alone.
Night Stalker families share what these programs mean to them and the impact on their marriages, their kids, and their sense of community.
