The Battle Initiative is a peer led faith based organisation run by and for veterans, service personnel, first responders and their families. We operate 5 day recovery and character building programs walk alongside our Warriors in the healing journey overcoming challenges that come with life and service like moral injuries and post traumatic stress.

Many of our Warriors find it difficult to reintegrate back into civilian life, leaving their families to deal with the aftermath of broken homes and suicide at times. By having the opportunity to hear testimonies of overcoming with hope and faith in Jesus, these Warriors are able to lead their families, their communities and our great nation.

Our mission is to serve and restore our Nation’s Warriors and see suicide eliminated, the cycle of divorce broken, develop healthy families, build resilience and encourage warriors to serve and impact their communities.
