We Help

Veterans and

their families

suffering from

trauma.

.

We think it sucks that more Post 9/11 veterans have died by suicide

than combat related fatalities.

Purpose:

Passion:

We are a catalyst for healthy living, peace of mind, spiritual renewal, strong families, vitality, and financial stability.

Principles:– Service

– Faith Friendly – Confidential

You can be the difference. You can be a force for good.

At least 20% of veterans have PTSD or depression and more than 50% do not seek treatment for their condition. Consequently,

rates of divorce for PTSD patients are two times greater than Veterans without PTSD. Over 260,000 veterans have been diagnosed

with a traumatic brain injury and there are over 50,000 homeless veterans. More than 1 in 3 women veterans experienced in-service

sexual assault and suffer with PTSD. On average, 22 veterans a day commit suicide.

We fight to improve the lives of veterans and their families by providing the following:

Peer support network and retreats

Resources that make life better

Holistic care and coaching Assessments for how real life affects the body
