WARRIOR CAMP®
To end military suicides, TRR created a week-long intensive and residential approach to repair Moral Injury as well as treat PTSD.
Our award-winning Warrior Camp® program is provided free of charge to combat veterans of ALL eras.
Results of this approach are:
- a 99.6% survival rate
- a 99% program completion rate.
Military Moral Injury© - Something You Did Downrange Still Bother You?
TRR prevents suicide by concentrating on repairing Military Moral Injury© – a term we use to identify Moral Injury as a consequence of combat operations.
Military Moral Injury (MMI) refers to the spiritual and existential crisis that can occur when, the requirement to follow the Rules of Engagement, at times, necessitates overriding one’s own moral principles in order to complete the mission.
It is about what combat Veterans DID downrange that haunts them.
This can lead to suicidal thoughts and attempts, regardless of how essential or reasonable or lawful the actions seemed at the time.
Moral Injury originated as a military concept and is recognized as such by Veterans Administration and Department of Defense.
To the best of our knowledge, TRR is the only organization that has developed a combat veteran program entirely focused on MMI repair. When it comes to MMI, we say “repair” rather than “treat” since we do not view it as a disorder.
Warrior Camp® has been operating since 2013 and is provided to participants at no cost. We currently conduct two to three Warrior Camp® sessions annually, but our goal is to ramp up to one program per month.
EMDR is central to our approach. It has been approved by DOD and VA as an “A” level treatment since 2004 (confirmed again in 2010 and 2017), indicating that it is always appropriate and acceptable. TRR assesses for depression, adult attachment disruption, dissociative experiences, PTSD, and Moral Injury using self-report and clinician assessments at pre-test and post-test. Substance abuse and traumatic brain injury are also assessed.
Programs will be developed for law enforcement, emergency dispatchers, firefighters, and EMS personnel. Each will meet the unique demands of both uniformed and non-uniformed emergency service workers and include the elements of Warrior Camp®, although the program names will be specific by service.
