Our mission is clear: To help people overcome trauma. We do this through our faith-based courses, training, and online tools. Our programs are led by people who get it because they've walked through trauma themselves and have come out stronger on the other side. REBOOT courses offer practical help for the entire family, and since 2011, over 9,000 people have experienced healing.
But it only works if you get involved.

OUR COURSES
REBOOT is only made possible by our incredible volunteers, donors and corporate partners.
REBOOT Combat Recovery specifically addresses military trauma. Veterans or active duty service members of all eras are welcome to attend. Spouses and caregivers also benefit greatly and are encouraged to attend. The course is 12 weeks long and most locations offer meals and childcare to remove barriers for families who wish to attend.
REBOOT First Responders is our 12-week faith-based first responder trauma healing course that specifically addresses the critical incident stress and trauma faced by those in the law enforcement, firefighter, EMS, 911 communications, hospital emergency staff, and corrections communities. Spouses and caregivers are welcome to attend and the course is offered at no cost to participants.
Research + Impact
There is a gap in the scientific literature when it comes to effective faith-based interventions for PTSD. We aim to change that.
Led by Dr. Jenny Owens, OTD, our program evaluation team is adding to the body of evidence that supports the notion that faith-based interventions are both powerful and life-changing. In 2019, our study was published in Military Psychology. Our recent outcomes report highlights statistically significant improvements in pain, anxiety, depression, fatigue, social participation, anger, meaning and purpose, social connectedness, spirituality, forgiveness and overall quality of life among course graduates.

REBOOT courses are hosted in church buildings, fire halls, apartment clubhouses and everywhere in between. Our courses and their volunteer leaders are critical, local resources for people dealing with trauma or post-traumatic stress.
At REBOOT Recovery, we don’t intend to be a “one size fits all” solution. Rather, we proudly work hand in hand with like-minded organizations who have expertise in areas we do not. We are thankful to the organizations listed below for supporting REBOOT’s emerging model of trauma healing. Our success is due, in part, to their partnership and generosity.
Faith Based Service Alliance
REBOOT is proud to be one of eight selected organizations to serve as charter members of the Faith Based Veteran Service Alliance. The FBVSA is a national alliance of faith based veteran service organizations united to serve America's warriors in partnership with the White House, Congress and Department of Veterans Affairs.
