OUR VALUES

We guide our organization on the following five valued fundamentals:

A

To advocate.

We believe quality mental health care should be accessible and attainable for any individual in need of support.

R

To research.

We believe evidence-based treatments put individuals on a path to recovery.

I

To Innovate.

We strive to be an organization of excellence and sought-after partner in delivering state-of-the-art mental health treatments.

S

To Support.

We provide quality mental health services and support through direct outreach, referral services, and nationwide partnerships.

E

To Educate.

We educate communities to embrace the importance of mental health and understand it is a critical component to overall wellness.

What motivated me to get involved is the staggering number of military, active and retired, deeply and perhaps permanently damaged by post-traumatic stress. According to a Rand Report, one in five veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars is diagnosed with PTS. Multiply that number by family members and you realize the urgency of our mission.
