Maine's Travis Mills Foundation to Host 'Trauma Training' in Feb

Nestled in Maine’s beautiful Belgrade Lakes Region, the Travis Mills Foundation is a nonprofit dedicated to supporting recalibrated veterans and their families.

Focused on post-9/11 veterans who’ve faced life-altering injuries, the foundation provides transformative retreats and programs designed to help them overcome challenges, rebuild connections, and discover new purpose. Through its comprehensive support, the foundation strengthens not just individuals but entire families, fostering resilience and empowerment in the face of adversity.

According to a press release from the foundation, Travis Mills is excited to announce a two-day Direct Action Response Training course by Dark Angel Medical, a veteran-owned company specializing in trauma care.

Open to the public, this essential training will take place on February 15–16, 2025, at the foundation's campus located at 1002 Watson Pond Road, Rome, Maine. Participants will gain valuable skills in managing trauma situations effectively.

The Direct Action Response Training course runs from 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM on February 15–16, 2025, at the Travis Mills Foundation campus. Designed for all experience levels—whether you're a first responder, outdoor enthusiast, or have no medical background, this hands-on program teaches essential trauma care skills. Participants will learn how to act decisively in critical moments, ensuring they can be "doers" rather than bystanders when every second matters.

Their team of instructors, with experience in both pre-hospital and emergency care, ensures participants are well-prepared to manage high-stress, life-threatening situations with confidence.
