Questions?

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 - Toni M.

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.

Why Choose Warrior's Return

Every Veteran who has been in a season of crisis and is now moving towards positive change deserves a fresh start and a second chance to reconnect with the warrior within.

 

The formula for the Warrior’s Return process is designed to help a Veteran progress towards healthier outcomes and experience post-traumatic growth.

 

Each component has been instrumentally positioned to challenge action and strengthen character.

 

The hope and intention moving forward is for the Veteran to increase their self-esteem, recognize their value, overcome moral injury, and have a sense of purpose and belonging. Post Traumatic Growth is a powerful force which improves our families, our communities, and ourselves.
