Centers of Hope are group / gatherings with a two-fold purpose.

⚙️ Empower veterans to find healing from the past

⚙️ Equip them to identify their next mission

The goal isn’t just to find healing from the past; the goal is to forge ahead into the best possible future— a future which includes forging forward into a new mission, a life mission.

How to get trained + equipped to facilitate a group

Choose a live (best) or online option-- with regularly scheduled trainings and on-demand options it's easy to register.

2. Access the tools

We'll provide everything you need-- books, videos, step-by-step processes, and more.

3. Act on what you learn

And, know that we're here. Take advantage of our weekly Zoom calls for ongoing support.

The Centers are an overflow of Crosswinds' film projects.

🎬 In 2014 we released Invisible Scars, a documentary focused on the problems associated with PTSD, as well as the paths available for healing.

🎬 Honoring the Code following in 2017 and described the effects of Moral Injury, including survivor's guilt, other forms of guilt, and shame.

We gave the documentaries away, free of charge, to educate the public and encourage veterans struggling with the issues addressed. This led to numerous conversations, which highlighted the need for a resource-- like Warrior Hope-- to empower veterans to move forward.

Though the 12-lesson manual works well for individual study, it was designed for groups... known as Centers of Hope.

Photo = Major General Jim Mukoyama introducing our third film.

Using HOPE as the acronym-- and outline of the book, the manual teaches...

H = Healing (we cover PTSD, Moral Injury, and more in part 1

O = Opportunity (and the importance of walking with others, while finding the resources needed, part 2)

P = Peace (overcoming the past, so we can live full present, and move forward, part 3)

E = Empowerment (leaning back on your warrior training and the skills you've acquired, part 4)

The video highlights what some of the first participants in the "test group" had to say.
