Save A Warrior
Outdoor recreation is one component of a successful program to help military veterans work through post-traumatic stress. The Save A Warrior™ initiative, begun in California in 2012 by military veteran Jake Clark, provides a “war detox” experience—through a mix of counseling, meditation, equine-assisted psychotherapy, and outdoor challenge courses.
