Legacy Program
Our five-day, intensive peer-to-peer program is designed to help Warriors — including veterans, active service members, first responders, and their spouses — find clarity and purpose in life’s big questions. Over the course, participants confront challenges tied to the demands of military life, combat deployments, and the impacts of post-traumatic stress (PTS). (Please note: men and women attend separate, dedicated courses.)

The Legacy program was founded by The Mighty Oaks Foundation in the U.S.A.
This is the Testimony of Andrew Hovenden just moments after he graduated the 5 day recovery program.
Since then, Mighty Oaks and The Battle Initiative have partnered in delivering the legacy program in Australia.
