WARRIOR PATHH

Eagle Oak Ranch is the only location in the Texas to offer the Warrior PATHH program for our combat veterans, first responders, and their families.

What is Warrior PATHH?

Warrior PATHH (Progressive Alternative Training Helping Heroes) is the first training program to enable our nation’s combat veterans and first responders to transform deep struggle into profound strength and lifelong Posttraumatic Growth (PTG). Warrior PATHH is a 90-day, non-pharmacological, peer-delivered training program that begins with a 7-day intensive and immersive initiation. This is followed by 3 months of dedicated support, training, accountability, and connection from a team of trained combat veterans and first responders.

Warrior PATHH was developed by the Boulder Crest Foundation, a national nonprofit organization working to ensure that service members, veterans, first responders, and their families can live great lives in the aftermath of stress, struggle, and trauma. Warrior PATHH was developed in collaboration with Dr. Richard Tedeschi, the founder of Posttraumatic Growth (PTG), and Dr. Bret Moore, a twice-deployed Army psychologist.

Why Warrior PATHH Works

Warrior PATHH works for a number of reasons:

  • Warrior PATHH taps the natural skills, abilities and resources of Warriors

  • Warrior PATHH connects Warriors who are on similar paths and builds new teams that hold each other accountable

  • Warrior PATHH utilizes small group sizes (8 students) and low instructor/student ratios

  • Warrior PATHH represents years of effort, experience, and understanding into precisely what is required to ensure our Warriors can come all the way home

  • Warrior PATHH is committed to making lasting and sustainable changes in the lives of combat veterans to ensure they find their path and stay on it
