The 296 Project

The mission of The 296 Project is to promote, advocate for, fund, and otherwise support Art and Expressive Therapies for combat veterans as a therapeutic means to lessen the severity of PTSD and/or TBI. In a sense, if you’re a Veteran suffering with PTSD/TBI, Expressive Therapist or Expressive Therapy organization, we want to be your best friend and help in any way we can.

So how do we want to help?

1. Fund Expressive Therapy for any/all combat veterans suffering with PTSD who cannot afford the treatment and/or where these types of treatments are not available via the US Government or covered by TriCare.

2. Fund partially or fully the research efforts of Expressive Therapists or Expressive Therapy organizations to help advance the field.

3. Commission works of art by combat veterans who use art as therapy to help financially support that individual – the art is then donated to local governments or organizations who can make good use of it. In other words, give it to the public to enjoy.

These ideas are just the beginning, The 296 Project is new but hopefully here to stay and here to help.

If you’re a Veteran of any branch of our Armed Forces and suffer from PTSD and/or TBI, we want to help. We have programs you can apply for that can help you express yourself in a productive and therapeutic way, we’d like to give you a voice where you may not have had one before. Additionally, you can apply for a la carte aid for any therapeutic service we don’t provide.

It is no surprise that in the aftermath of World War II, America enjoyed a remarkable renaissance – economically, politically and militarily. A renaissance that was led across every segment of our society by those who had endured war and come back stronger, more seasoned and more prepared for the challenges of life and peacetime.

The 2.7 million men and women who served in Iraq, Afghanistan and other locations have now received that baton. These men and women have the experience, the ability and the potential to be our nation’s Next Greatest Generation.
In order to unlock that potential, it is critical that we provide combat veterans and their families with a free, safe and sacred place to rest, reconnect and recharge. That is why we created PATHH – Progressive and Alternative Therapies for Healing Heroes – which consists of five key programs:
•Warrior PATHH: a free 7-day combat stress recovery retreat for warriors (with separate programs for male and female combat veterans)
•Family PATHH: a free 5-day combat stress recovery retreat focused on combat veterans and their families
•Couples PATHH: a free 3-day combat stress recovery retreat focused on combat veterans and their spouses
•Caregiver PATHH: a free 3-day combat stress recovery retreat focused on those providing care to a spouse or child who was wounded in combat
•Career PATHH: a free 1-day transition seminar focused on providing transitioning or transitioned service members with the clarity required to live the life they deserve here at home.

In addition to our PATHH programs, Boulder Crest Retreat devotes a substantial portion of our calendar year to Family Rest and Reconnection retreats. These free retreats are 2-7 nights in length and provide families with the opportunity to rest, reconnect and recharge – together.

DAWG Foundation

The DAWG Foundation was formed with the mission of providing a companion canines for US military veterans (and select First Responders) battling PTSD. The companion canine will be well trained by DAWG Foundation-approved trainers, and will provide everything from simple companionship and emotional support to limited mobility/distress assistance (an example of this would be when the veteran is in a crowded venue, and begins to feel overwhelmed. The companion canine can recognize the stress, and either enter into a comfort mode ‘leg hug’, or begin to lead the veteran towards the nearest exit to open, fresh air). The veterans will also require specialized vetting and training, to verify suitability for the program.

Ambassador wolfdogs make trips to meet our nation’s heroes. These Veterans are given the opportunity to work closely with these wolfdogs and set up lifelong friendships. The often difficult walk back home is not one that they should have to make alone. This program offers a unique opportunity to help our heroes recover from the stresses and traumas that result not just from military service but from the readjustment involved in coming home. The wolfdogs at Lockwood ARC live in an “in-between” world – not quite wolves and not quite dogs – just as many veterans who have served their country do not feel quite at home as civilians after being Warriors. Both misunderstood and disenfrancised, the wolfdogs and the warriors find solace in each other.
Licensed therapists and drug and alcohol counselors are available to address the mental and spiritual health issues facing our veterans. Animals and nature offer a special opportunity for healing and for remembering how to be trusting, grounded, and fearless once again!

Team River Runner

Team River Runner believes that every wounded and disabled veteran deserves the opportunity to embrace new challenges, invoke leadership, and promote camaraderie.

It’s a program that provides hope and healing to those who have risked so much, yet asked for so little. It’s an opportunity to enjoy nature and realize its social, physical, and emotional benefits, whether it’s tackling whitewater rapids or paddling on peaceful flat-water. It’s an environment that facilitates connection, allowing veterans to reunite with their families and forge relationships with those who have endured similar pain. Our veterans are on the river to recovery. TRR provides all boats, outfitting, safety gear, instruction, transportation, food and lodging for the participants and the volunteers through the generosity of their donors and the subsidies from their providers.
