"Sarah had been searching for ways to help me. She came to me and asked if I would be willing to try a program through Mission 22. I was finally ready for something to change. I said yes."
"Without the love, support, phone calls, programs, and people who showed up when I needed them most, I know without a shadow of a doubt that I would not be here today."

R+R Coaching
What it is
Healing isn't meant to be done alone—and it doesn't mean staying stuck in the past. Mission 22's Recovery + Resiliency (R+R) Coaching is a no-nonsense, 90-day one-on-one program for Veterans and spouses ready to take control. We use proven tools and modern science to rewire habits, manage stress, and build resilience you can rely on every day.
Why it works
While many mental health approaches center on processing the past, our health coaches shift the focus to the present and future: what you want to achieve right now, goals you can hit today even with PTS, TBI, or other challenges. When you look ahead and take action, the past naturally loses its hold. We honor the warrior spirit, tenacity, and inner power you already carry—that's the real key to lasting recovery.
How it works
You're paired with a coach who truly understands the journey, offering straight talk, accountability, and real conversations. Together you set goals and build momentum with practical strategies for better sleep, stronger habits, stress management, improved relationships, and more.
Self-paced tools, learning modules and many other resources are available to support you whenever needed.

Life has been a rollercoaster of ups and downs with significant challenges. R+R has allowed me to weather the storm of life and my current transitions. I wake up every morning with a calm demeanor, with gratitude and wonder how I can be my best self each and every day and also within my relationships with others.
R+R has definitely helped my PTS and TBI symptoms. Objectively speaking, I've lost 10 lbs., my blood pressure is down from 145/90 to 117/77, and my ability to handle life's normal day-to-day stressors is improving. Subjectively, I no longer believe that I'll be dealing with intense PTS symptoms for the rest of my life, and that's an outlook I didn't have four months ago.
PTSD was coming back with vengeance. I was convinced I was broken and developed many unhealthy habits. Facing my fears with using my strengths with optimal nutrition and wholesome supplements, meditation, exercise, coaching, reading, sharing and learning that I'm not alone offered me the opportunity to finally face the demons of the negative effects of PTSD to steadily use these tools to improve my well-being.
I was given this organization's information by a fellow veteran. I had no idea that there was so many natural supplements that Veterans can take outside of the normal pharmaceutical medicines that really doesn't have much affect on overall health. After taking them I have felt better and also have a better outlook and energy throughout the day.
It was like hitting a restart button. I felt really refreshed. I wake up early to go to work and take it right away and soon it just makes me feel like I'm starting out a great day already.
