FORGING RESILIENCE
Using steel heated to over 2,000 degrees, the mission of this program is to be proactive in the mental healing of our Purple Heart Recipients, Veterans, and Law Enforcement warriors by blacksmith/forging their own knifes as a form of therapy. The goal is to foster an environment in which our communities warriors can build camaraderie, through shared experience, while simultaneously forging a resilience to their trauma.
New Program Coming Soon...
