Who We AreSheep Dog Impact Assistance (SDIA) is a non-pro�t organization that serves the needs of our nation’s “Sheep Dogs” - society’s protectors, the men and women who have served or are currently serving in our nation’s military, law enforcement, �re & rescue and EMS professions. Sheep Dogs feel serving and helping others is a way of life that does not stop when a shi� or tour of duty ends. �e various programs o�ered by SDIA provide members with an outlet to continue serving, and for some, a renewed sense of purpose.

SHEEP DOG IN NEED PROGRAMS Sometimes society’s helpers need help themselves due to an injury or medical issue, a family hardship, or other unexpected crisis. �e "impact assistance" SDIA members provide Sheep Dogs in Need fosters growth and healing for all involved.

SDIA provides peer group camaraderie, and o�ers support and mentoring to those transitioning from active duty to civilian life by those who have successfully navigated the transition.

Our Sheep Dogs have made enormous sacri�ces for us. �ose with physi-cal and emotional wounds su�ered in the line of duty o�en feel they can no longer make signi�cant contributions to society. Helping their fellow citizens in a variety of ways facilitates healing and fosters a renewed sense of purpose. Helping is Healing.
