All the courses and activities we offer help the wounded, injured and sick look beyond illness and injury, regain their purpose, reach their potential and have a positive impact on society.

How we do it Working with a vast network of professionals and partners, we help veterans and their I’M NOT GOING families by offering physical, psychological, career, financial and welfare support.
