Impact evidence

Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (1)
  1. $2.1 million spent. Offer easliy accessible educational courses, live coaching, on-demand 24/7 guidance, classroom instructions and seminars to all service members in need of psychological resources and to civilians to effectively engage wiht and support military service members, veterans, and their families. Because not a lot of Americans serve or have served in uniform, most civilians are unfamiliar with military culturs, lifestyle, and their unique attributes. As a result members of the military and veteran connected community oftern feel misunderstoodand reluctant to seek support. Our mission is to bridge that civilian-military gap by educating the nation. We utilize a public health model by implementing education at a national and community level to mobilize strategic initiatives on topics such as suicide prevention and wellness in the workplace. The four core programs are comprehensive and focus on online training course development, learning enagement, educational consultancy, and a support center, all of which are supported by the technology platform.
