Warrior Wellness Program

What Warrior Wellness Program does

Warrior Wellness Program is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered at a converted Team House facility on 1.5 acres in Holiday, Florida. Founded in 2015, the organization delivers alternative, evidence-based therapeutic services to combat veterans and their families, with a core offering called the Accelerated Wellness Program (AWP) — a five-day intensive residential experience provided free of charge, including lodging, food, and transportation. The core therapeutic modalities are Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), an evidence-based psychotherapy that reprograms traumatic memory storage using horizontal eye movements and reportedly achieves results in 1-3 sessions; Integrative Restoration (iRest), a guided meditation protocol; and Adaptive Yoga, a modified Hatha practice. Supplementary offerings include art therapy, equine and raptor experiences, hydro massage, TRX Tactical Trainer strength conditioning, and community-building activities such as volunteer-hosted dinners and nature walks. Reported outcomes across 1,000+ veterans served since 2015 include a 52% decrease in PTSD, 62% reduction in depression, and 55% reduction in anxiety.

The organization's go-to-market is community-led and event-driven rather than paid advertising: veteran-to-veteran referrals, alumni volunteer ambassadors, and partnerships with veteran service organizations drive enrollment, while signature annual events (Shoot for Post-Traumatic Growth, Carry the Load Memorial May, Night of Gratitude Veterans Day dinners, blood drives) build awareness and fundraise. The business model is grant-and-donation funded with no fee charged to veterans; services are financed primarily through charitable foundation grants (e.g., $60,000 from DAV Charitable Service Trust, $16,000 from DVNF, $15,000 from Foundation of Caring, $25,000 from Florida Medical Clinic Foundation of Caring) supplemented by individual donations via Zeffy, in-kind gifts via Amazon Wishlist, and event sponsorships. Leadership consists of Executive Director Chris Sowell and Board Chair Nicole Stroebel (a licensed CPA). The organization is expanding to Huntsville, Alabama, marking its first geographic extension beyond Florida.
