Courage Beyond is a wonderful organization that provides needed services to military personnel and their families. I am honored to volunteer for such an organization!
Regardless of political views or stumping opinions, as a community we all can agree that war is damaging. However, after repeated deployments, no one knew just how damaging. But one organization was prepared and forward thinking in the fight to help our military community. That organization is Courage Beyond. From counseling services for my entire family, to online support, to in-person interaction, Courage Beyond is at the front, leading. There is not other organization I would rather work with.
I'm involved with Courage Beyond because I know there are so many soldiers who have served our country who need help. They suffer from all sorts of issues because of their time spent at war, ranging from PTSD and anxiety to just the struggles of transitioning to home life after a deployment. Courage Beyond is working hard to be a free and confidential place where military and their families can come to get counseling and other services to support them and help them cope with the issues they face as a result of military service. It's always great to work at an event hosted by Courage Beyond and know that it is helping to raise awareness and funding to serve our troops. I encourage anyone interested to get involved!
I have been consistently impressed by the lengths to which Courage Beyond staff and volunteers will go to help service members, veterans, and their loved ones. The staff excels at pairing the right counselor with each person that needs services. The online moderators work around the clock to make sure the community is taken care of with dignity and true support. The peers are always willing to listen or to offer support, even if the support ends up coming from another nonprofit! I've loved being a part of the movement to destigmatize the hidden wounds of military service.
This organization has been a lifesaver for me as a caregiver to a Wounded Warrior. I attended a retreat that the held. It was absolutely lifechanging. I was barely surviving before being touched by Courage Beyone. The taught me how to live again. It didn't just happen at the retreat. They ensured that I was well adjusted once I returned to my home. They are always touching base with me to ensure that myself and my family are ok. It has meant so very much knowing that they have my back. If you can only give to one Charity this year, I highly recommend donating to Courage Beyond. Help them help our military families not feel alone.
The genuine commitment and passion the staff and volunteers exude at Courage Beyond is both refreshing and unparalleled. It is never about settling on a successful operation with this group, but they are always exploring ways to have a bigger impact and make a significant difference in the lives of military families. It is a pleasure to have worked with Courage Beyond and I look forward to doing so well into the future.
