Mission and Vision
Patrol Base Abbate is a space for ALL veterans to find community and rediscover their purpose around shared interests in order to promote mental health and foster resilience.
On the foundation of community, our members recalibrate their focus on their next best chapter and rediscover their purpose in service to themselves, their families, and their communities.
It's not about how you served, it's because you served.
Research shows that suicide does not discriminate by the circumstances of one's service. The data on suicide in the veteran space consistently proves this. As a result, PBA exists for all veterans and service members- if you wore the cloth of our nation or are currently serving, we have a space for you.
Community is the Antidote to Crisis
Our premier Return to Base program provides our members the opportunity to pursue their shared interest with fellow veterans in the healing isolation of the Montana mountains. This high fidelity, immersive experience has a proven track record of sustained mental health outcomes for our veterans and service members.
“I spent so many painful years looking for my spirit, hollow inside. It turns out it was up in the mountains of Montana, healing quietly and waiting for me... As I write this, I welcome these tears of joy and gratitude. I am once again whole.”
- Steve
"To the people I met at Patrol Base Abbate... Thank you... You helped me remember that service doesn't end when the uniform comes off. You reminded me that it's okay to slow down. It's okay to care deeply. It's okay to ask for support. And it's okay to accept friendship. I arrived as a stranger. I left feeling like part of a family."

"I am beyond grateful for the opportunity and feel that the four-day Return to Base retreat has helped give me greater understanding of my future. The Greeks called it arete: achieving a purposeful life that meets our highest virtues. More to follow but for now, my mind is clear, my soul charged with purpose, and my heart full of gratitude."
