EFFECTIVE SUICIDE PREVENTION FOR VETERANS & SURVIVORS

Proudly Sponsored By



Veterans face unique challenges: PTSD, physical disabilities, heightened loneliness, and a lack of adequate support, leading to a heightened risk of depression, anxiety, and even suicide, all from the noble pursuit of protecting others.

Over 20 veterans lose their lives to suicide each day. The system too often neglects those who have sacrificed the most.

Combat Recovery Foundation is dedicated to fighting this crisis head-on, combating this invisible enemy, and helping our heroes recover from their wounds of service.

Offroad Recovery:
Level I Off Road Class

desk chair workspace, 201 E 4th St, Loveland, CO 80537
4:00 pm - 8:00pm

Every ASCENT run starts here. Level I is the classroom night that comes before our trail runs, and it is where you learn how we do things so that the trail day is about the drive, not about figuring out the basics. This class is your first step toward our first trail run on Sunday, November 15.

This is the first class of a new CRF program, and we are launching it on Veterans Day on purpose. ASCENT stands for A Shared Convoy Experience, Navigating Together. The idea is simple: a convoy of veterans and trauma survivors drives out together, works a trail together, shares a meal, and talks it through on the way down. Peer coaches ride along. Nobody drives alone.

What we will cover

  • How a CRF convoy runs: Trail Leader, Tail Vehicle, Medic, and Peer Coach roles, and where you fit
  • Radio basics and the calls we use on the trail
  • Spacing, pacing, and spotting on rough ground
  • What your vehicle needs to roll with us, and a walkthrough of a trail ready rig
  • Trail etiquette, land rules, and how we leave places better than we found them
  • The plan for Sunday’s run: where we meet, when we leave, and what to bring

Who this is for
Veterans, trauma survivors, and the people who ride with them. You do not need off road experience, a lifted truck, or any special gear to attend. If you have a 4x4 or AWD vehicle and want to join the trail run, bring your questions about it. If you do not have a vehicle, come anyway. There are seats in the convoy.

Cost
Free, like everything CRF does. The only thing we ask is that you complete our participant intake paperwork before the trail run, and we will have it on hand at the class.

What to bring
A notebook if you like taking notes, your questions, and a friend who might need this too.

First trail run: Sunday, November 15
 Attending this class is the first step to riding along.

Ready to roll? Fill out the sign up form below to reserve your spot for the class and let us know if you plan to join the trail run on the 15th.
