Forward Assist: Invited To Take Part In The Boulder Crest Warrior PATHH Programme In Arizona

Forward Assist were delighted to be invited to take part in the Warrior PATHH course in Arizona during June 2025. The programme ensures participants can transform struggle to strength. Warrior PATHH is the first-ever programme designed to cultivate and facilitate post-traumatic growth (PTG). Boulder Crest’s Warrior PATHH programme is delivered at nine locations across the country and Forward Assist were invited to bring a group of six UK combat veterans on the course but due to other commitments only two of us were able to make the journey. The 90 day programme begins with seven days of in-person residential training on the sacred land of Apache Springs Ranch. Located on a 130-acre historic homestead near Sonoita in the Coronado National Forest. PATHH: Progressive and Alternative Training for Helping Heroes is grounded in Posttraumatic Growth (PTG) science, training participants to make peace with the past, live fully in the present, and envision their future. Myself and Mitch were embedded in a group of seven US Veterans and by the end of the week we had made friends with everyone on the course.The UK needs Warrior PATHH because it offers something existing systems don’t: a peer-led, growth-focused, holistic approach to trauma recovery. With increasing demand for effective support for those who serve, Warrior PATHH could be a transformational addition to the UK’s mental health landscape.
