As a veteran-led foundation, we understand the challenges these families face every day and the lasting impact of the trauma they have endured. We believe nature offers healing and peace, forming the foundation of our mountain-based programs. Our program is an evidence-based, family-focused approach rooted in the principles of positive psychology's PERMA+ model. Using psychoeducational modules and nature-based activities, participants are empowered to cultivate their strengths, resilience, positive emotions, relationships, and a sense of purpose in order to overcome the devastating impacts of war. With the outdoors as our classroom, our programs explore the intersection of mental health and nature to advance our mission by: - Supporting family reintegration following active service - Cultivating strengths and resilience - Building communities of support and meaningful relationships - Reducing the stigma around seeking therapy - Developing an alumni program that fosters long-term, peer-to-peer mentorship
