I was recently introduced to this organization, Frontline Yoga, which is helping veterans and front-line support people such as the Police and nurses and doctors in emergency wards - who are suffering trauma because of their work. It looked like a great initiative to me: http://www.yogaforthefrontline.com/
And this is their Facebook site, there are some inspiring stories on it: https://www.facebook.com/FrontlineYogaFoundation/?fref=nf
From their website:

"Frontline Yoga Inc. delivers Trauma Aware Yoga to members at the Frontline. Police, Paramedics, Firefighters, Defence, Healthcare Workers, SES/RFS and Surf Life Savers are able to access free weekly Yoga.  Our aim is to foster community and support, develop mental and physical strength, build resilience, a sense of peace and tools for self-regulation in order to optimise the processing of occupational stressors.

    I am a teacher, contemplative practitioner, researcher, community developer and artist, currently working in the area of Contemplative Education, which I believe is one of the most important movements in education today.
