Trauma Rescue & Recovery Guide

What is the Wild Haven Warrior Project? 

While most medical and social service organizations provide immediate rescue and rehabilitation for trauma victims, - like in human trafficking, domestic violence, foster-adoptive placements - our Wild Haven Warrior Project focuses on long-term, holistic support to prevent survivors from returning to destructive environments or behaviors that retraumatize them and lead to chronic issues in their tissues and pain.

Wild Haven Warrior Project is dedicated to helping trauma survivors - who suffer from their own past abuse, misuse, neglect, and abandonment - move beyond their painful pasts to build thriving, resilient futures that will impact future generations to come. 

Our mission is to SHOW THEM HOW to literally move through and out of the stress, anxiety, depression, and chaos they feel in their brains and bodies with holistic, sustainable, natural, evidence based practices that instill hope and bring healing. As they connect the dots and experience transformation, they break free from the chains of anxiety, depression, and self destructive thoughts that kept them trapped, giving up, and stuck in unhealthy ruts … that wreaked havoc on their physical health, too.

At the same time, we guide them in restoring connections within nature with the Healer, themselves, and others who often become lifelong support systems we all need to get through hard times.

These are the way we are designed to thrive by focusing on holistic - physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, and relational - well-being.

In addition to meeting basic needs like food, shelter, and safety through our charitable support of social service organizations (rescues, shelters, rehabilitation facilities), we provide tools and resources to empower individuals to reclaim their lives, set healthy boundaries, and build resilience.

Our ultimate goal is to foster a COmmUNITY where trauma survivors can become leaders who inspire future generations with their strength and healing.

So we ask, do you want to make a lasting difference in the lives of abused, misused, or orphaned adults who will impact future generations of children?

Fun Facts: **Why the number 8 and 12 you ask? We desire to keep these groups intimately small because our hope is to foster the safety and trust needs of each trauma survivor and create lifelong relationships that endure through hard and holy battles of the spirit, mind, and body.

Bonus Interesting Info: Because 8 is the number that, Biblically speaking, represents New Beginnings, AND when “knocked down” it’s the infinity symbol (♾️) that, to me personally, represents the Alpha and Omega's (God’s) infinite love, compassionate grace, mercy, and forgiveness that turns ashes to beauty (Is 61:3)! And the number 12, represents the 12 Apostles. Jesus' "Inner Circle" of misfits -so to speak- who formed close knit friendships and discipleship to "Go" spread the good news! And, ultimately, all that we do does this - even in spaces where we can't SAY Jesus, we can SHOW Jesus by BEing the hands, feet, hearts, minds, and bodies of Christ!
