SHEEP DOG IMPACT ASSISTANCE

Better Off Wet had the pleasure

of spending a day on the water fishing and scalloping with some of the guys from Sheep Dog Impact Assistance’s Central Florida Team! Sheep Dog’s mission is to improve the lives of our nation’s veterans and first responders in need by helping them Get Off The Couch™ and reengage in living an active, meaningful & productive life through their Outdoor Adventures, Warrior PATHH and Disaster Response Mission Programs. We consider it an honor to head out on the water with folks who are doing such a good work, for our Country’s Veterans and first responders. We, at Better Off Wet, look forward to doing more with Sheep Dog Impact Assistance. Founded in 2010, Sheep Dog Impact Assistance (SDIA) is a national nonprofit

organization founded and headquartered in Rogers, Arkansas. SDIA exists to engage, assist and empower our nation’s “Sheep Dogs” (military veterans, law enforcement, fire & rescue, and EMS personnel) to Get Off The Couch™ and reengage in living a meaningful and productive life. These heroes have an innate desire to serve and their service gives purpose to their lives; however, after an injury or shift/tour of duty ends, that purpose is often lost. By gathering together Sheep Dogs who have suffered similar traumas & experiences, SDIA has found that the camaraderie and peer support they receive fosters healing and is critical to their overall wellbeing, which helps prevent suicides in our Veteran and First Responder communities.

Joining SDIA in opportunities for physical activities, camaraderie & healing (Outdoor Adventures), training to transform struggle into strength and posttraumatic growth (Warrior PATHH), and volunteer opportunities for continued service (Disaster Response), a Sheep Dogs’ innate desire to serve is again fulfilled. When Sheep Dogs #GetOffTheCouch together, their attitude and perspective are drastically improved and many find healing and a renewed sense of purpose.
