Vision Statement - That all Veterans are empowered to live, ending suicide in the Veteran Community.

Mission Statement - To help Veterans and their loved ones through a proprietary unique set of challenges to discover a new mission, be intentional, heal relationships, and stop Veteran from taking their lives.

Belief System - We believe that every Veteran's life matters, and everyone is responsible to help them redefine their mission of how they protect and serve. To create a positive impact on the community, family and especially their children.

WHAT TLWH DOES - TLWH stops Veterans from killing themselves by turning warriors into leaders in their families and their community.

HOW WE DO IT - We do this through a program that causes a transformative shift in the trajectory of their life. TLWH does this by training Veterans to support Veterans and their families to turn anger into mindfulness, to create a new mission and heal damaged relationships for themselves and their loved ones.


PLEASE SUPPORT OUR PROGRAM AND OUR LOCAL VETERANS!
Your donation goes beyond saving a Veterans life, it also impacts the entire family especially the children who are affected the most.
