ORGANIZATION DESCRIPTION

Founded in 2010, The Soldiers Project (TSP) is an independent group of volunteer licensed mental health professionals. It provides free counseling and support to military service members who have served or who expect to serve in the Iraq and/or Afghanistan conflicts. Services are also available to the families and other loved ones of service members. TSP provides help to service members and families struggling with issues related to the overwhelming trauma of war including the cycle from pre-deployment to deployment to homecoming and re-entry to civilian life.

GRANT PURPOSE

The Adopt-A-College program provides volunteer therapists with a series of four training workshops, college faculty and administrators with in-service seminars and workshops, and veterans with counseling and support groups to help them return to college.

With these funds we will be able to provide needed psychological support to the many returning veterans and their loved ones who are attending our local colleges. They have served for us and we are here to help.
