SDIA Celebrates One Year Anniversary of Warrior PATHH Training in NWA!
It is hard to believe that it has been a year since Sheep Dog Impact Assistance (SDIA) began conducting Warrior PATHH (WP) training courses in Northwest Arkansas. Our first course launched in March of 2021, and it has been an incredible journey filled with excitement, unexpected challenges, multiple locations, some hard lessons, and much healing.
Over these past twelve months, we conducted ten Warrior PATHH courses and facilitated the Posttraumatic Growth (PTG) of 73 Sheep Dogs. They have transformed their struggles into strength by making peace with their past, learning to live in the present, and have started making plans for a great future.
We haven’t done this alone. It has been made possible, not only by the hard work of staff, but by our supporters, donors and the members of the Sheep Dog Teams and Chapters who have acted as keepers of their Sheep Dog brothers and sisters.
Please join SDIA as we celebrate this incredible accomplishment during...
SDIA & GC Partner for Humanitarian DRM
All of us at Sheep Dog Impact Assistance (SDIA) are troubled by the atrocities taking place in the Ukraine, and our hearts go out to all the people that are unable to leave the territory.
In an effort to do what we can to assist, SDIA has partnered with Gladiator Contracting for a humanitarian disaster response mission (DRM) to Ukraine. SDIA members working with Gladiator will depart for Poland/Western Ukraine this Friday, March 18, to extract specific, pre-identified American and Ukrainian citizens, getting them out of harm’s way and to safe locations outside of the country.
Following this initial mission, the team will establish a humanitarian “safe zone” for supplies, refugees, and volunteer staff as the war in Ukraine continues. SDIA is immediately supporting this effort with donations of survival gear, DRM equipment and other needs.
This mission will be very cost intensive, and we encourage anyone interested in supporting these humanitarian efforts to donate financially via the SDIA...
