We are committed to the future and well being of our veterans and first responders.
The Permission to Start Dreaming Foundation is committed to finding the best tools and training to enhance the mind, body and spiritual wellbeing of our nation’s veterans, first responders and their family members. We believe they should be provided the very best programs that help restore their lives and overcome the trauma they face while serving their country and communities.
We are proud to officially present:
“Coming Home”
made possible by the names family foundation, and in collarboration with wayfaring footlights and westbound films
“Coming Home” is more than a film — it’s the story about what happens after the uniform comes off, and explores the invisible battles many veterans and first responders face during transition out of service, or in the face of trauma.
This film highlights that turning point, the work that is required for healing, the measurable growth that follows, and the shift toward renewed purpose.
Through the voices of our Founder, and Warrior PATHH alumni, we illustrate what Post-traumatic Growth truly looks like:
It’s not simply surviving the transition home, but rediscovering connection, meaning, and strength on the other side of adversity.
Sharing this film is an opportunity for our community to gather, reflect, and celebrate what is possible when growth becomes the focus.
Warrior PATHH in the Pacific Northwest
The Permission To Start Dreaming Foundation has brought Warrior PATHH training to our community here in the Pacific Northwest, in partnership with the Avalon Action Alliance. Our partnership with them has served to magnify our strength and resolve in providing support for our veterans and first responders, both advancing our reach and accelerating our progress potential significantly. We now offer PATHH programs in the PNW for both male and female combat veterans, active-duty personnel, and first responders – and no clinical diagnosis of any kind is required to attend. Warrior PATHH is designed to harness the power of the first responder’s training and field experience, and the veteran’s military training and combat experience, to enable our warriors to unlock their remarkable potential at home. Once that potential is unlocked, the positive ripple effects through their families and our communities are profound. Our commitment to this training is pinned upon our knowledge that trauma does not need to diminish vitality or cause our veterans and first responders to live a diminished life.
