Save A Warrior® (SAW) is the original, Warrior-led, timeless journey for returning veterans, active duty military, and first responders who feel desperately alone. Since 2012, we have transformed the lives of nearly 2,000 of our nation's heroes who have struggled with the effects of Complex Post-Traumatic Stress (C-PTS) that often leads to suicide and suicidal ideation. Our 72-hour integrative program offers an alternative holistic service that equips veterans, military personnel, police, firefighters and other first responders with a community of support and effective techniques to overcome the symptoms and addictions associated with C-PTS This life-saving program is free for Active Duty Military, Veterans and First Responders, funded solely by the generosity of our supporters. Thanks to their unwavering commitment since our humble beginnings out of the trunk of a car in Malibu, California, we opened the National Center of Excellence for Complex Post-Traumatic Stress in partnership with DAV (Disabled American Veterans) on June 11th, 2022, in Hillsboro, Ohio.
