We Are Changing and Saving Lives!

We are committed to healing the lives of America’s veterans and reducing veteran suicide. For the past 17 years, we have been changing lives and saving lives! We have over 1,500 testimonials from Heroes who have expressed how the WWIA events they attended have dramatically impacted their health, healing, happiness, and overall well-being. This isn’t hype or hyperbole, it’s evidence-based! We have partnered with Cornell University to study the results of the work we are doing and how it combats veteran suicide, and it has shown some remarkable results. The bottom line is THIS STUFF WORKS!
