Addressing Chronic and Traumatic Stress
There is an urgent need for improving mental health among Veterans, Active Military and First Responders in the face of the mounting suicide and opiate epidemics.
Join us in committing to explore and scale up solutions for reducing the stigma of addressing mental health, high levels of stress and trauma and escalating drug epidemics.
I have done my best to battle my demons through physical activity and counseling, however, nothing has come close to the healing that occurred during the PWHT Power Breath Workshop. I honestly feel like I have been given a second chance at life and the weight I carried on my heart, mind and soul has been lifted.

I cannot even put into words how simple breathing techniques changed my life.

U.S. Army Veteran
I have spoken to soldiers who have participated in Project Welcome Home Troops and they are realizing the benefits that prescription drugs couldn't provide. We need to get more Veterans into this program if we are to reduce the alarming suicide epidemic.
