You are not alone
Who suffers from PTSD?
Anyone experiencing difficulty functioning in their daily lives as a result of traumatic events.
Through our healing retreat and services, you, our frontline men and women, will find a safe, trusting, supportive environment within which you can finally exhale, breathe deep, and dive into the trauma, the history, stories, and feelings and put them in context to heal the stress responses.

- Experiencing the event over and over again with intrusive, distressing thoughts

Partners and Organizations We Work With
This one has changed me forever. I love you all and I thank you for the support that was in my head when I was ready to give up. I was at the end of my rope but I knew I couldn’t give up on my people and I knew they were just as afraid as I was. We pulled together and saved each other. I saw all your faces in Idaho and you were all smiling and it gave me strength. Thank you all! I love you all more than you know! In the face of all this devastation my Thrive brothers and sisters gave me strength! We are strong and we can accomplish anything!” - Matt McKenzie
