Operation Warrior Resolution Inc

We strive to fill the gaps within the VA and provide immediate mental health care with the most innovative approaches to treating trauma and other stress. The methods we engage the veterans in are gentle and do not require the veterans to relive painful past events. We intend on providing healing from within, from the root of any psychological and physiological disturbance. The therapies we utilize have been carefully chosen to provide maximum and immediate mental clarity (alleviating troubling or racing thoughts) and ease within the body (or nervous system). Our focus is to:
• Decrease in anxiety – difference in heart rate, feelings of high alert or hypervigilence, breathing to feeling of relief and ease.
• Decrease of trauma response in the mind and body i.e. intrusive thoughts, flashbacks, triggers of places, sounds, and things associated to the trauma to being emotionally present to what is happening. No longer startled or having triggers associated to memories. Being emotionally present.
• Decrease in nightmares - Improved sleep.
• Realization of resilience and a positive outlook of the future.
With the therapies we utilize are to provide immediate relief, but also tools for them to use afterwards to continue strengthening their ability to move through stressful situations on their own, creating even more resilience in the mind and body.In addition, camaraderie and close bonds with other veterans bring a profound aspect of support among one another. Our veterans programs create that camaraderie and support that is invaluable to each veteran's wellness during and outside of the program operations.

Our main strategy for creating change and improvement in the wellbeing of veterans is through our 5-day holistic healing retreats. The retreats will provide an intensive program for long-lasting healing and bonding. Trauma or highly emotional experiences not only impact the mind but also the body, which are most effectively addressed through experiential treatments which are integrated into our retreats. OWR reaches beyond the standard protocol of psychotherapy and medications to provide innovative treatments, combined with time proven alternative approaches, shown to be effective among today’s military community. While at the retreats, veterans will experience Rapid Resolution Therapy, equine therapy, along with other mind, body and spirit modalities including trauma-informed yoga, acupuncture, massage therapy and other body work. As well as bonding and team building activities to draw on inherent strengths for growth moving forward.
Other powerful impact strategies include providing individualized Rapid Resolution Therapy sessions to immediately alleviate trauma. The sessions are usually 1-3 sessions at 2 hours each and we can provide as soon as the veteran needs it. We also have a weekly yoga class for veterans and their family members to bond and experience a state of peace while learning tools such as breath work to use at anytime outside of the programs.

Our board is highly experienced in their field of expertise, which includes financial, legal, military and clinical. We also have a strong network of financial donors and those in the community who support our mission. Our clinical team is the most highly trained professional in the U.S. providing the therapy and producing results. At the retreats we provide almost a 2:1 support with staff to veteran ratio. We have a strong presence in the military community and come highly recommended by word of mouth from veterans who have taken part in our programs.

We completed four retreats in 2021 and are set to do five retreats in 2022. In addition, in 2021 we provided over 300 individual therapy session to veterans, their spouses and children, and 750 to date. We now have four weekly yoga classes for veterans and their family members. Horses have been shown to help alleviate trauma, so in 2021, we began a weekly equine therapy program for veterans as an alternative way of treatment. Our curriculum is designed specifically for service members and relieving military related issues.
