respite Retreats for Veterans, spouses, & Military Families



A Mother's Rest is a strong supporter of all U.S. military families!
Veteran Couples at
Lawton Place Manor
in North Georgia

Whether you are active duty, combat-impacted, and/or
have your own disabled child at home,
AMR is here to SERVE YOU TOO.
The challenges of military life are inherently great, and are exponentially multiplied if you're also raising a child with disabilities. These parents share a common bond, and can greatly benefit from time away to breathe and rest in quiet fellowship with others like them.
​
In 2021, we held several respite retreats at our inn in NORTH GEORGIA for military families (spouses/wives/mothers as caregivers and also for couples) . However, we can only fit so many into the calendar while we primarily serve parents of disabled children.




This place is amazing these women are all true heroes! I'm a military wife and mom to special needs child. I never knew places like this existed until one of my neighbors who is also a special needs mom told me about it. I am not one to usually express myself I'm an introvert with horrible anxiety I dont like trying new things and going out on my own with strangers. I was at the end of my rope stressed beyond stressed. I can't explain it entirely but there is something truly amazing and therapeutic about being around other moms who struggle daily with the same thing I do. A place where you don't feel judged or different or like you're not enough. A place where you feel amazing and special. A place you get that long overdue rest you thought would never come both mentally and physically. A place you can meet true friends that are also family. Andrea I can't ever thank you enough for making this possible it truly meant the world to have that much needed long overdue break and for once to feel like I was enough. TGH snow queens it was an amazing weekend and I hope to do it again sooner rather than later!
