Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Warrior Wellness Solutions (WWS) is a team of experienced health and wellness practitioners dedicated to helping those who have risked their lives and sacrificed their health and wellbeing for our country. Our team profoundly believes in the power of intensive education balanced with custom integrated
health strategies. Our Post Traumatic Growth (PTG) approach supports the veteran's reintegration and wellness journey back to their families and communities. By creating an intimate, one-on-one relationship, the WWS team successfully engages participants to connect and share their struggles related to battle trauma and injuries enabling the process of emotional healing. To date WWS has provided customized health and wellness programs for over 1,000 WII service members and veterans resulting in many remarkable success stories. With over 5,000 current program participant requests, our goal is to grow WWS's capacity to support these new requests and to support continuing participation requests from veterans, their caregivers and families.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
WWS nutrition educators are Certified Holistic Health Counselors who hold certificates in Plant- Based Nutrition from Cornell University and the T. Collin Campbell Foundation, in addition to being graduates of the world's leading and largest holistic nutrition school, The Institute of Integrative Nutrition.
WWS health coaches attended the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy in partnership with the Institute for Functional Medicine.
WWS human performance team is certified through the National Academy of Sports Medicine as Corrective Exercise Specialists and Personal Trainers, in addition to being Certified Functional Movement Screen Professionals, Tactical Strength & Conditioning Facilitators and Martial Arts Instructors and Exercise Physiologists.
WWS registered yoga and mindfulness teachers hold advanced certifications from Warriors at Ease, Mindful Yoga Therapy for Veterans, and the Yoga Warriors methodology for PTSD and Combat Operational Stress Reaction.
WWS Post Traumatic Growth and Lifestyle Enhancement Coaches break the cycle of therapy and medication with a simple Psychotherapist endorsed solution to improve Emotional Wellness (Mental
Health)
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
The WWS executive team has worked extensively with service members and veterans for more than 10 years to provide service meeting the needs of warriors affirming individual dignity, uncovering inner strength, and promoting health independence. In addition, we have served on an Executive Roundtable and Vision Sharing Board for Non-Profit and Community Participation in Achieving "World Class" Standards of Care and Services for Wounded Warriors
at the New Joint Services Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. We are also involved with the Smithsonian/Navy Medicine Conference Series on Wounded Warrior Care.

- We review compensation data across the organization (and by staff levels) to identify disparities by race.
- We ask team members to identify racial disparities in their programs and / or portfolios.
- We analyze disaggregated data and root causes of race disparities that impact the organization's programs, portfolios, and the populations served.
- We disaggregate data to adjust programming goals to keep pace with changing needs of the communities we support.
- We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
- We disaggregate data by demographics, including race, in every policy and program measured.
- We have long-term strategic plans and measurable goals for creating a culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
- We use a vetting process to identify vendors and partners that share our commitment to race equity.
- We have a promotion process that anticipates and mitigates implicit and explicit biases about people of color serving in leadership positions.
- We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
- We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
- We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
- We measure and then disaggregate job satisfaction and retention data by race, function, level, and/or team.
- We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
