Suicide and substance abuse claim the lives of more than 40 veterans per day. This profound crisis stems from the silent battle with post-traumatic stress and other unseen injuries. These veterans — who gave selflessly for us — need our help now.

WarriorWOD answers the call with a research-backed approach reducing PTS in program veterans by as much as 29%. To date, WarriorWOD has prevented nine veteran suicides.

We need your help.
For as little as $20/month, you can save a veteran's life. Will you answer the call to support our veterans after they answered the call to serve?

WARRIORWOD MISSION:

WarriorWOD combines exercise, nutrition, and mentorship in a research-backed, results-driven recovery program for veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress, suicidal ideations, and substance abuse.

Meet Chris Derbak.

Chris served this country honorably. And like many veterans, Chris experienced struggles after his service was complete. 

He found holistic healing through WarriorWOD’s program built on physical activity, nutrition, and mentorship. Today, Chris has found a new sense of purpose.

He's one of 2,500+ veterans WarriorWOD has helped through research-backed programming. But there are so many more veterans that need help.

Your donation changes veteran lives. Your generosity improves their quality of life, enabling veterans to manage internal struggles, reconnect with family and loved ones, and find purpose and joy in their lives.

REDUCE INTRUSIVE MEMORIES THROUGH NUTRITION COACHING

Better nutrition impacts intrusive memories by influencing mood regulation, brain function, inflammation, and the gut-brain axis. Dietary changes help mitigate PTS symptoms, especially when used as a complementary strategy alongside evidence-based therapies.
