Since 2012, Save A Warrior (SAW) has accepted applications from the First Responders from across the United States. Until this message is updated, SAW will not process applicants from non-Veteran First Responders outside of Ohio. SAW remains honored to have brothers and sisters from First Responder agencies across the US as part of the SAW Alumni Community.
Save A Warrior®️ is a Veterans Services Organization supporting active duty military personnel and returning Veterans of any era struggling with the effects of Complex Post-Traumatic Stress.
Additionally, Save A Warrior accepts applications from sworn full-time First Responder personnel (police, fire, EMS) serving within the state of Ohio.
Service in Iraq or Afghanistan is NOT required. Service in ground combat is NOT a requirement. The only requirement is a desire to heal and a willingness to serve others still struggling with the effects of trauma. Experience shows that Save A Warrior works best if you are willing to do “the Work” and commit to a daily practice that includes meditation and a life of service to others.
In the past, we have served:
Please know that Save A Warrior is a 24/7 alcohol and drug free program. If you struggle with alcohol or drug use, we STRONGLY encourage you to begin recovery immediately, we can support your recovery journey from Substance Use Disorder (SUD). If you desire to heal from Post Traumatic Stress our experience shows sobriety is critical.
Our experience shows that you can only heal from post-traumatic stress when you are willing to do “the work”, which means engaging in a daily practice of meditation, having a desire to be emotionally sober, and living a life where you focus on serving others. Scientific research has proven that meditation can heal your brain, while alcohol and drug abuse prevent healing. Currently we receive applications from far more warriors than we have the capacity to serve. If you want to get your life back and participate in this program, begin taking steps today to become sober. As fellow warriors who have struggled to confront and overcome these challenges, we are sharing from our own collective experiences.
