The course supports Veterans as they design and pursue a better future. A future that they choose. The Warrior’s Return guides Veterans in learning how to drop labels such as “broken”, “damaged” and not be anchored to diagnoses such as PTSD. We are so much more than that, and embarking on the Warrior’s Return is to acknowledge our role as leaders in our families, churches, and communities, and forgive ourselves for whatever our role may have been in past traumatic events.
WHAT WARRIOR'S RETURN PROVIDES
ABOUT WARRIOR'S RETURN
While serving, being a warrior means engaging in physical battle, training for war, and ensuring the safety and well-being of your fellow service members. Once service is over, a new type of battle begins. The warrior must now use the trauma they have experienced as a source of strength and fuel to live their best life in the civilian world.
We’re here to help with that journey.

TESTIMONIALS
Army Veteran - Yvonne M.
I remember my first day walking into ETS and writing the following thought – You can smile through the pain; the pain will never go away, but community will help you smile. Warrior’s Return saved me from going down the wrong path & letting despair overwhelm me. I found community, connection, and intellectual stimulation & was amazed by the genuine love & authenticity from all the presenters. I am eternally grateful to ETS & Warrior’s Return for helping me feel alive again. It helps the soul feel its worth.

Navy Veteran - Brice P.
"Warriors Return is truly something special. The program showed me a path to regain the confidence and self-worth that I had lost and gave me the tools to become a stronger version of myself. It also showed me the importance of having a strong foundation, a good support network, and allowed me to create bonds that I have been missing since leaving military service. The 5 weeks were truly life changing and going forward I will do what I can to give back to ETS, Warriors Return, and our veteran community."

Warriors Return for me was a new means of self-discovery, mixed with comradery and a sense of belonging. At warriors' path I was able to speak and more importantly I felt heard and understood. The experience was all around enlightening and a journey that I'd gladly do again.
