What is a recalibrated veteran?
SSG Travis Mills coined the term “recalibrated veteran” after losing parts of his limbs in an IED explosion while serving in Afghanistan. Though injured and healed, he didn’t want to be called a “wounded warrior.” His wounds had healed, so he was no longer wounded. Instead, he described himself as recalibrated, having adjusted to his new normal.

Our Programs for Mansfield, OH Veterans
The Travis Mills Foundation provides seven unique programs free of charge to veterans and their families. Each program is thoughtfully designed to address the specific needs of every veteran, regardless of their life’s stage. We recognize that rehabilitation is a continuous journey, and our foundation is dedicated to supporting veterans and their families throughout this process. As you progress, we will be there to support you at every step. It is an honor to offer these empowering opportunities that help veterans and their families thrive.
HHERO Programs
Among our programs, the HHERO program is our most popular, tailored for recalibrated veterans and their spouses, partners, children, or a chosen guest. If you are in Mansfield, OH, let’s get your trip schedule to the Belgrade Lakes region in Maine and enjoy a well-deserved retreat. Our family programs run throughout the year and feature activities such as kayaking, zoo visits, wheelchair basketball, archery, dog sledding, snowshoeing, and more.
Warrior PATHH
Warrior PATHH is the first-ever program in the country designed to build Post-Traumatic Growth in combat veterans and first responders. It enables these wounded warriors to transform times of struggle into profound strength and growth. The training begins with a 7-day on-site initiation at the Travis Mills Foundation, followed by 90 days of training delivered by PATHH guides who have all completed the program themselves and are a bit further down the path.
Caregiver Program
We deeply understand the vital role caregivers play in veterans’ lives. Thus, we have created a dedicated caregiver program for spouses, partners, parents, and siblings caring for veterans. This program fosters self-care, relaxation, and peer connection, allowing caregivers to recharge, share experiences, and find support within a community that truly understands their journey.
Recalibrate Program
The mission of the Recalibrate Program is to extend the Travis Mills Foundation’s mission outside the physical walls of the retreat and programming. When recalibrated service members and their families attend the retreat, they experience a barrier-free environment and adaptive activities that they may not otherwise be exposed to. This program is designed to address physical, social, and financial barriers that recalibrated service members may experience outside of the retreat.
