— OUR HISTORY: A Message from our Founder
About Us and How We Help You
Many of those who serve in combat return to the safety of their homes but still don’t feel as if they have “come home.” Too many experience guilt, anger, difficulties with trust, and feelings of isolation- all normal responses to the abnormal experiences of combat and readjustment upon homecoming. Their families also struggle with many of the same issues as they try to help loved ones make the transition into the home and our community, as well as ones unique to their own situation.
Soldiers And Families Embraced is a resource for the community to ease the readjustment and reintegration of military members returning from our current wars and their families, as well as veterans from previous eras. After returning from combat, a “normal” post-deployment life seems somewhat impossible—our veterans have witnessed things that have given them a different outlook on life, altered views of themselves, and sometimes others. However, a “new normal” doesn’t need to automatically equate to negative feelings or outcomes. It’s a healthy and productive way to live life, and how people cope and come to grips with the trauma they’ve been through.
