We are grateful to announce that the DAV Charitable Service Trust has awarded Warrior Wellness Program a $60,000 grant! This support helps us further our mission of providing an opportunity for healing to those affected by the traumas of war. Every day, we work to build a healthier, more connected, and resilient veteran community. Thank you for partnering with us in supporting our nation’s heroes!

We are thrilled to extend our heartfelt thanks to the Foundation of Caring for their unwavering support and dedication to the well-being of our veterans. 🎗️ Your generosity has been a beacon of hope, and we are immensely grateful for the impact you’ve made on the lives of those who have served our nation.

The Foundation’s commitment to our cause has been nothing short of extraordinary. 🇺🇸 

Thank you once again, for standing beside us and making a lasting difference. Together, we can continue to honor and uplift our veterans.

​Warrior Wellness Program is honored to announce it has been awarded a $10,000 grant from the Florida Medical Clinic Foundation of Caring. This money will be used to provide 20 veterans with four sessions each of individualized Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART).

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is an evidence-based therapy that has been shown to achieve benefits more rapidly than other traditional therapies, usually seeing results in 1-5 sessions. ART works directly to reprogram the way in which distressing memories are stored in the brain so they no longer trigger strong physical and emotional reactions.

ART is the cornerstone of the Warrior Wellness Program. Warrior Wellness Program helps combat veterans suffering from post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or traumatic brain injuries. It does this through a week-long Accelerated Wellness Program, which offers these veterans and their significant others a week of reset, replenishment and rejuvenation.

In 2019, Warrior Wellness Program started offering stand-alone ART sessions to veterans in addition to our weeklong program,” said Patty Fried, Executive Director “Thanks to the Florida Medical Clinic Foundation of Giving grant, 20 veterans who are suffering from symptoms of post traumatic stress or traumatic brain injury will be able to find relief and hopefully some peace after participating in Accelerated Resolution Therapy.

Warrior Wellness Program provides both individualized services and a five-day Accelerated Wellness Program, which uses Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and other alternative therapies to create a more healthy, connected and resilient veteran population. Since 2015, Warrior Wellness Program has served over 1000 veterans and their spouses. Those who have participated in the organizations services have experienced a 52% decrease in post-traumatic stress, a 62% reduction in depression and a 55% reduction in anxiety among other positive outcomes.

Holiday, FL July 21, 2023 – Warrior Wellness Program, Inc. is honored to announce it has received a grant from the Disabled Veterans National Foundation (DVNF) for $16,000. This grant will help Warrior Wellness Program provide effective mental health and wellness services to veterans with post-traumatic stress that suffer from an array of issues including isolation, anxiety, depression and suicidal ideation.

Patricia Fried, Executive Director of Warrior Wellness Program said, “Funding from DVNF will help provide effective mental health and wellness services to those who served our nation so they may have an opportunity to heal from the traumas of war.

Joseph VanFonda (USMC Sgt.Maj. Ret.), CEO of the Disabled Veterans National Foundation said, “In caring for our Veterans’ mental health, the Warrior Wellness Program provides vital therapy for those who deal with mental stress after leaving the service. This program helps each veteran see that they are not alone in addition to teaching them important coping tools. DVNF is proud to support this program and the important work in bringing healing to all aspects of life to the veterans who participate.

Disabled Veterans National Foundation exists to provide critically needed support to disabled and at-risk veterans who leave the military wounded—physically or psychologically—after defending our safety and our freedom. DVNF achieves this mission by:

• Offering direct financial support to veteran organizations that address the unique needs of veterans, and whose missions align with that of DVNF.
• Providing supplemental assistance to homeless and low-income veterans through the Health & Comfort program and various empowerment resources.
• Providing an online resource database that allows veterans to navigate the complex process of seeking benefits that they are entitled to as a result of their military service, as well as additional resources they need.
• Serving as a thought leader on critical policy issues within the veteran community and educating the public accordingly.

Warrior Wellness Program provides both individualized services and a five-day Accelerated Wellness Program, which uses Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and other alternative therapies to create a more healthy, connected and resilient veteran population.
