A group of trained mental health professionals and therapists are gathering under the group name of Operation Comfort to offer free help to our troops and families as stated below. For more information, visit the Operation Comfort website at www.operationcomfort.com
Our mission is to create a nationwide network of mental health providers and agencies to donate their services, free of charge, to family members who have a loved one serving in the Middle East.
Our sole purpose is to provide emotional and psychological support to military families, regardless of ethnic background, sexual orientation, religious affiliation, economic status, or political stance.
Operation Comfort will allow therapists the opportunity to be of service to a population in great need of support. At this time, the families of soldiers are a unique and diverse community, all struggling with similar concerns, anxieties, and life stressors. Operation Comfort is an inclusive organization of psychologists, marriage and family therapists, licensed professional counselors, and social workers, all of whom are donating their time and expertise to provide meaning, understanding, and comfort. Therapists and family members alike, are invited to participate in this collaborative effort to maintain community and connection in this time of uncertainty and heartache.
Phase One has been the creation of a network to assist families in uniform cope and manage their lives more effectively.
Phase Two is our commitment to continue working, free of charge, with our troops and their families throughout this process of reintegrating into their communities and homes. There is pending legislation to support our troops with homecoming parades, but the reality is that many returning soldiers will be dealing with issues stemming from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Operation Comfort will provide individual psychotherapy, marital counseling, critical debriefing and family therapy for military families.
