Project Welcome Home Troops
Project Welcome Home Troop’s SKY Resilience Training transforms lives by restoring well-
being, mental focus, and a renewed sense of connection and purpose. Research indicates that
Veterans and Military Members may get relief from chronic and traumatic stress using our
scientifically backed breath-based meditation techniques. These powerful techniques address
the root of the extreme stress of military life, including deployments, traumatic loss, chronic
stress, and reintegration with family and community. Our program proudly serves military
installations, Veterans Affairs Hospitals, Vet Centers, universities, and communities around the
United States. The program has served over 8,500 individuals.
A Multi-Modal Approach to Healing
The SKY Resilience Training is a restorative mind-body program. The workshop offers
practical and powerful tools to help individuals manage the impact of service-related chronic
stress and trauma. Participants achieve greater mental focus and clarity, enhancing their
performance, improving sleep quality, and the ability to regulate emotions. The cornerstone of
the SKY Resilience Training is the SKY Breathing Meditation. The SKY brings deep mental
and physical relaxation through rhythmic breathing patterns that may reduce depression,
anxiety, anger, insomnia, and hyper-vigilance symptoms. Many veterans facing suicidal
ideation report having hope for their future and the desire to live. The SKY Resilience
Training builds resilience and a mental fitness framework, translating into self-awareness,
emotional intelligence, well-being, and confidence through breathing techniques, interactive
small group discussions, yoga, and guided meditations.
What veterans are saying
“The SKY Resilience Training had a profound impact on me and my family. It truly has
positively changed my life and saved me from the darkness of PTSD and its demons. I will
forever be indebted to them and Project Welcome Home Troops.” Mark, USN Ret.
“I honestly have been given a second chance at life, and the weight I carried in my mind, heart,
and soul has been lifted.” Travis H. USMC
“I have done my best to battle my demons through physical activity and counseling. However,
nothing has come close to the healing I experienced during the PWHT SKY Resilience
Training.” Travis H. USMC
“I’m a skeptic. How is breathing going to control my emotions, I wondered? Since I took the
workshop a year ago, my blood pressure is down, I am sleeping much better, and I haven’t had a
traumatic combat nightmare.” Orlando R., Army 101 st Airborne Division, Vietnam.
Research
Findings published in the Journal of Traumatic Stress (Stanford University) showed a
statistically significant reduction in acute symptoms of post-traumatic stress. The study also
found that the outcomes persisted for one year, indicating that the changes may be permanent.
A study (The BMJ 2022) between Stanford University and the Palo Alto Veteran Affairs
Medical Center found that - SKY Breath - is as effective at reducing post-traumatic stress
symptoms in veterans as the gold-standard traditional VA therapy - cognitive processing
therapy.
