Sheep Dog Impact Assistance (SDIA) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of our nation’s military members, veterans, and first responders through targeted peer-to-peer mental wellness training, outdoor adventures, and continued service opportunities. Our flagship program, Warrior PATHH (WP), is a proven, non-clinical training program based on the science of Posttraumatic Growth (PTG) that enables participants to transform deep struggle into profound strength.
Currently, SDIA must transport WP participants 1.5 hours each way to Cave Springs for equine therapy, an essential component of the program’s holistic approach. This travel interrupts the flow, effectiveness, and impact of the program, reducing valuable training time. By constructing an on-site equine therapy arena at Heroes Ranch, SDIA will eliminate these disruptions and enhance the WP experience.
