Helping Veterans & First Responders Find Purpose Again — Sheepdog Impact Assistance | EP 22

In this episode of The Outreach Project Podcast, we sit down with Raffy Morales from Sheepdog Impact Assistance to talk about purpose, PTSD, post-traumatic growth, and the reality many veterans and first responders face after service. From disaster response missions and outdoor adventures to Warrior PATHH and Sheepdog University, Sheepdog Impact Assistance is helping veterans and first responders get off the couch, reconnect with purpose, and realize they are not alone in the fight. This conversation dives deep into: • PTSD in veterans and first responders • Post-traumatic growth • Suicide prevention • Disaster response missions • Outdoor adventure therapy • First responder mental health • Veteran transition struggles • Warrior PATHH • Community and purpose after service One of the most powerful moments of this episode comes when Raffy shares the story of a veteran who arrived with a suicide note in his pocket — and left with hope. 👇 SUPPORT & CONNECT WITH THESE ORGANIZATIONS 👇 🐑 Sheepdog Impact Assistance: https://sheepdogia.org/ [https://sheepdogia.org/] 🏡 Hometown Hero Outdoors: https://hometownherooutdoors.org/ [https://hometownherooutdoors.org/] 🎯 Veterans Creed Outdoors: https://www.vcousa.org/ [https://www.vcousa.org/] 🇺🇸 Say When & Remember Him Foundation: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100092266125091 [https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100092266125091] ⚔️ Til Valhalla Project: https://tilvalhallaproject.com/ [https://tilvalhallaproject.com/] 👇 SPONSORS 👇 💪 Game Day Men’s Health (Mission Sponsor) https://gamedaymenshealth.com/alamo-ranch-t [https://gamedaymenshealth.com/alamo-ranch-t] 🏠 Rucking Realty Group (Impact Sponsor) https://ruckingrealtygroup.com/ [https://ruckingrealtygroup.com/] 👇 THE OUTREACH PROJECT LINKS 👇 🌐 Website: https://www.theoutreach-project.com [https://www.theoutreach-project.com/] 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_outreachproject/ [https://www.instagram.com/the_outreachproject/] 🎥 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheOutreachProjectHQ [https://www.youtube.com/@TheOutreachProjectHQ] #Veterans #FirstResponders #PTSD #MentalHealth #SheepdogImpactAssistance #WarriorPATHH #PostTraumaticGrowth #VeteranSupport #TheOutreachProject #DisasterResponse #SuicidePrevention #OutdoorTherapy #Podcast

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
