You Stood Strong. Let Us Help You Recover.
We believe first responders and veterans deserve more than a thank-you
At R3, we believe first responders and veterans deserve more than a thank-you—they deserve real support from people who understand. Our mission is simple: connect those who serve with the healing, hope, and help they need to keep going.
We’ve walked alongside officers after critical incidents. We’ve stood with veterans facing invisible wounds. And we’ve watched lives change through access to the right care, at the right time.

The Hidden Wounds of Service Deserve to Be Seen
First responders face unimaginable stress, trauma, and loss—often without the time or tools to process what they’ve seen. Repeated exposure to tragedy and suffering creates invisible wounds that affect the mind, body, and spirit.
The R3 Program was built to change that.
First responders are more likely to die by suicide than in the line of duty.
Studies show a significantly higher risk of PTSD, depression, and moral injury.
Continuously improve the way we serve those who serve us

We connect warriors, peacekeepers, and their families to:
Trusted Clinicians
Therapists and counselors with real experience in trauma, grief, and moral injury—many of whom have served themselves.
Healing Programs
In-person and virtual retreats, immersive recovery experiences, and support groups that foster growth and reconnection.
Crisis Support
Access to 24/7 peer lines and discreet help for those in critical need.
Research + Innovation
We partner with experts in neuroscience, psychology, and spiritual care to advance tools and strategies that work—because the science of healing is just as important as the heart behind it.
OUR APROACH
Healing is complex &
deeply personal
That’s why the R3 Program isn’t one-size-fits-all. We’ve built a framework that combines clinical insight, peer support, and community-based care to help participants recover, rebuild, and return to their lives with clarity and purpose.
Every resource we recommend has been vetted and trusted by those who’ve lived the life. This is care made by and for the warrior class—because true recovery requires cultural competence and tactical empathy.
Heal moral injury, restore hope
The American Warrior Association is dedicated to honoring, aiding and supporting the Military, Veterans and First Responders who uphold the principles of our country and have chosen to unselfishly serve others and effect positive change in society.

The Moral Injury Outcome Scale (MIOS)
