Our Mission

Supporting our nation's heroes

We provide support, healing, and resources to veterans and first responders suffering from post-traumatic stress.

Each day, our nation loses 22 heroes to suicide brought on by PTS, but we can be the change they need by connecting them to the support, care, and healing resources they deserve.

By meeting veterans and first responders suffering from post-traumatic stress (PTS) where they are emotionally, we help them see they are not alone in this battle for peace.

HOW WE HELP

CONNECTING THE DOTS

Support

Combining our efforts with local and national organizations, we work to provide valuable resources and donations in order to ensure we stay active in the fight against PTS.

Healing

Green arrow down

A big part of our approach is using our time, energy, and resources to send Central Oregon veterans and first responders to the Save A Warrior foundation (SAW) each year. Using a cohort model, they encourage participants to engage in a 72-hour long wellness seminar using the outdoors to enable increased mental and physical health.

Change

By redirecting the experience of PTS held by so many veterans and first responders, we facilitate meaningful change along their journey toward a better and healthier life.

Purpose

Green arrow down

We provide those impacted by PTS a new purpose and a new shared outlook through various recreational and spiritual activities conducive to healing and enrichment. Throughout the Pacific Northwest, we provide ongoing support and resources to ensure the health and well-being of our heroes.

Our purpose

Each day, 22 veterans and first responders take their lives due to the pressures felt from post-traumatic stress, and more than 800,000 of them are suffering from PTS right now.

Warrior Impact leads the charge against this phenomenon throughout the Pacific Northwest. Based in Central Oregon, we connect our nation’s Warriors with needed resources, and encourage them to engage in the Save A Warrior program and other events geared toward curbing the devastating effects of psychological trauma.

By getting these heroes the support and resources they need to regain their footing and rebuild their lives, we hope to see the staggering numbers of those impacted by PTS eradicated.
