Welcome to SWIFT
Supporting Warriors in Finding Tranquility (SWIFT) is a supportive community where veterans and first responders can find healing, connection, and peace through the transformative power of birdwatching and nature. SWIFT is uniquely dedicated to providing a supportive community specifically for veterans and first responders. We understand the challenges faced by those who have served, and our program is tailored to offer them the peace and connection they deserve.
“The moment I step into the woods, I take everything in—the sounds, the smells, the subtle movements around me. It’s an instant reset, a way to clear my mind that traditional therapy never quite could. PTSD therapy helped me understand my condition and how to cope, but it never felt like true healing. Birding, on the other hand, is healing.”
[Darren Ullmann]
