About Us
The Bodhi Battalion
The 7th annual Pat Hermanson Golf4Vets Charity tournament is the primary fundraiser of the Bodhi Battalion.
Bodhi Battalion was established in 2015 to support veterans struggling with mental/behavioral health issues, lack of positive support systems and community engagement.
What makes the Bodhi Battalion unique as a nonprofit is that we look at each veteran as a whole person to effectively address the reasons for their current challenges. By gaining a deeper understanding of the unique needs of veterans’ issues, we can work together step-by-step to foster and maintain the components of a meaningful life.
The Bodhi Battalion believes that canine involvement can provide the essential bridge to treatment that is so vital. In 2019 the Bodhi Battalion developed the P.T.S.D REDEFINED program, Providing Treatment (through) Service Dogs. This program allows veterans to interact and help prepare young service dogs in training for veteran matching and service placement. Our program utilizes critical cognitive and mindfulness-based techniques to create a parallel learning process that generates the most beneficial and welcoming environment for restorative therapeutic progress. Many organizations offer service dogs, and many offer therapy, but the Bodhi Battalion utilizes both to create a deeper, more enduring model of healing.
OUR BELOVED LEADER AND FRIEND PAT ESTABLISHED THE VERY FIRST GOLF4VETS CHARITY TOURNAMENT IN 2016.
