Impact evidence

Programs described in its return (3)
  1. $134,226 spent. IN 2021, PTSD NOW MADE AN INITIAL COMMITMENT OF 200,000 TO THE NEVADA DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS SERVICES (NDVS) TO FUND ADDITIONAL COUNSELORS SUPPORTING ACTIVE DUTY SERVICE MEMBERS, RESERVISTS, AND VETERANS AFFILIATED WITH THE NEVADA NATIONAL GUARD (NVNG). THIS PIONEERING COLLABORATION REPRESENTS THE FIRST INSTANCE OF NONPROFIT FUNDING DEDICATED SPECIFICALLY TO RESOURCES BENEFITING NATIONAL GUARD PERSONNEL. OUR FUNDING SUPPORTS COUNSELING AND THERAPY SERVICES DESIGNED TO ALLEVIATE STRESS AND DEPRESSION, CRITICAL RISK FACTORS THAT CAN CONTRIBUTE TO SOLDIER SUICIDES. IN 2024, PTSD NOW FURTHER STRENGTHENED THIS INITIATIVE BY PROVIDING AN ADDITIONAL 134,226 TO NDVS.
  2. $150,000 spent. DURING THE FINAL TWO QUARTERS OF 2024, PTSD NOW PARTNERED WITH THE NEVADA OFFICE OF MILITARY TO DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT A TRANSITION PROGRAM DIRECTING FUNDING TO BENEFIT ACTIVE-DUTY, RESERVE, AND VETERAN MEMBERS AFFILIATED WITH THE NEVADA NATIONAL GUARD. IN THIS TRANSITION PERIOD, PTSD NOW PROVIDED AN ADDITIONAL 150,000 IN FUNDING. ALTOGETHER, OUR COUNSELOR AND THERAPIST PROGRAMS CONTRIBUTED A TOTAL OF 284,226 TO SUPPORT THE WELLBEING OF THE NEVADA GUARD COMMUNITY IN 2024.
  3. PTSD NOW CONTINUES TO CHAMPION THE RESILIENCY TRAINING PROGRAMS IT HAS FUNDED IN SEVERAL STATES, WITH A PARTICULAR FOCUS ON NEVADA AND ARIZONA. THE "PURPLE RESOLVE" PROGRAM IS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO ENHANCE THE MENTAL WELL-BEING OF SOLDIERS AND AIRMEN BY BUILDING RESILIENCE AND EQUIPPING THEM WITH PRACTICAL TOOLS FOR MANAGING STRESS AND DEPRESSION. IN ARIZONA, A RELATED INITIATIVE, IRON CORE, HAS BEEN IMPLEMENTED WITH SIMILAR SUCCESS. WE REMAIN COMMITTED TO SUPPORTING THESE PROGRAMS AND ACTIVELY PROVIDE FUNDING TO OTHER NATIONAL GUARD UNITS SEEKING TO ESTABLISH OR EXPAND THEIR OWN RESILIENCY TRAINING INITIATIVES.
