Wayfinders Wellness Society (WWS)

Helping First Responders, Military, Veterans, and their Families

WWS is a non-profit organization led by peers with lived experience. WWS community includes first responders, military personnel, veterans, & their families.

We focus on living in wellness with diagnosed PTSD injury & OSI injury resulting from trauma sustained on the job. This also includes those living with CPTSD as a result of being a survivor of Military/Service Sexual Trauma.

WWS & our team also assist those who may be under presumptive care or in the acute stages of injury to navigate the stages of the roadmap to mental health on their healing journey if needed.

What We Do

We provide a safe, supportive environment for first responders, military personnel, veterans, & their families living with PTSD/OSI injury.

We aim to help them regain balance and feel grounded through peer-led land based wellness programs & peer support groups.

What We Do Not Do

We follow a “Do No Harm” policy during our programs, meaning we do not discuss the details of our trauma or topics like news, politics, or religion to ensure a safe environment for all participants, as WWS programs & groups are not therapist led.

Attendance Requirements

Participants of our in-person programs must be through the initial acute stages of their injury with their clinician due to the fact we are a non-therapist led/run facility.

Virtual programs & peer support groups are available for those still in acute stages, or are still under presumptive care legislation.

All first-time participants in our workshops & peer support groups must provide proof of service for liability & safety purposes, & do a gentle intake so we can get to know you. In this call we do NOT ask for details of your injury.

Our Team

Our operations team & program facilitators are required to have a clean criminal background check, including a vulnerable sector check, as well as a level of required training as it pertains to the programs or groups they are facilitating.
