Project Odyssey
Empowers warriors to push beyond their known limits and develop skills to discover their best selves
Project Odyssey® is a 12-week mental health program that uses adventure-based learning to help warriors manage and overcome their invisible wounds, enhance their resiliency skills, and empower them to live productive and fulfilling lives. Based on their unique needs, warriors can participate in an all-male, all-female, or couples Project Odyssey.
The program starts with a five-day mental health workshop, where warriors are challenged to step outside the comfort of their everyday routines. This opens them up to new experiences that help them develop their coping and communication skills. After the workshop, participants work together with WWP to stay engaged, achieve their personal goals, and make lifelong positive changes.
