Making Knives, Saving Lives

A sense of purpose together with a peer-to-peer support system is key to recovery. All of Reforged's programs exist to help alumni increase their support network. Alumni volunteer to support one another. Someone in the Reforged family is available every day to talk to people who need support.

Trying to Shape a Sharper Future

Reforged openly hides and integrates a peer support program into the webbings of their blacksmithing classes. The blacksmithing class is used to draw interest for the program, but Reforged's goal is to create a peer support network of like-minded individuals. Every portion of the blacksmithing class has metaphors that can be used for overcoming adversity and seeking support. Their goal is not only to support their alumni in making a knife, but also to find a place where they feel at home. Reforged opens the forge up to alumni once they come through the class with the mindset that "what's ours is theirs", and welcome them back with open arms.

The Ties that Bind Us / Repurposing Our Hands

The leatherworking program teaches alumni to make sheaths for their knives and provides a new class environment once the knife making is done. Reforged offers a free jewelry making class to Vets, First Responders, and spouses. The class expands the support to those who support their Vets and First Responders on a daily basis.

Forging a Family

Reforged alumni are able to gather every month for family dinner or other Reforged family events. Some of the most difficult times our alumni may experience are anniversaries and holidays, and the Reforged Family provides support so our alumni do not have to face these challenges alone.

You Are Not Alone

Reforged offers free counseling services to Veterans and First Responders. They have licensed health professionals available to support the Reforged Family. They provide counseling services with a trusting relationship in mind and do not report to government agencies. Alumni do not have to worry about jeopardizing careers or facing judgement.
