Hearts Behind The Hero 

Hearts Behind the Hero is a comprehensive program specifically created for veterans and emergency responders to engage in alongside their spouse, significant other, or family members. This initiative aims to foster a deeper understanding of the unique challenges and trauma that these individuals face in their professions. By participating, families gain valuable insights into the daily struggles that their loved ones encounter, which may often go unnoticed or unspoken.

​

The program offers education on the signs and symptoms of mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and other psychological challenges that veterans and emergency responders may experience. By equipping family members with this knowledge, the program helps them to recognize when their loved one may be in distress, empowering them to offer support and encouragement when needed.

​

Moreover, Hearts Behind The Hero emphasizes the importance of effective communication between responders or veterans and their families. It provides practical strategies for improving dialogue, enabling family members to create a safe space where mental health can be openly discussed without fear of judgment or stigma. Ultimately, this program strives to build stronger familial bonds, enhance mutual understanding, and promote mental wellness among both responders and their loved ones. Through shared experiences and education, families can better navigate the complexities of mental health together, fostering resilience and hope within their relationships.
