THE NATIONAL EVENT INITIATIVE OF AFTER THE ACTION

Show up.
Take part.
Make it count.

Four ways to gather. One mission to rally behind. Join a challenge, bring one to your hometown or back the people making it happen.

THE IDEA

A great day out.
A deeper reason why.

After the Action Challenge turns the things we love to do together into ways to support healing after service.

Local hosts make each event their own. Participants find their people. Partners help expand the reach. Every circuit points back to After the Action Healing Foundation and its mission to provide eligible veterans with no-cost, trauma-informed care.

AFTER THE ACTION HEALING FOUNDATION

No Mind
Left Behind.

Service can end.
The need for support can remain.

Behind every challenge is a person who served. Your community can help make the next step toward healing possible.

After the Action Healing Foundation provides no-cost, trauma-informed clinical hypnotherapy and emotional wellness support for eligible military veterans, with secure virtual sessions available nationwide.

When you take part, sponsor an event or give to ATA, you help build support for that work. The gathering is the beginning. The mission reaches beyond it.
