Spotlight on Service: The Soldiers' Project

At Pasadena Presbyterian Church, we aim to be a "sacred space for the city," and for that reason, we desire to learn about opportunities for service in Pasadena and to support and celebrate what non-profits, ministries, and charities are doing right in our midst.

And so this week, we honor The Soldiers Project.

On their website, The Soldiers Project is described as "a private, non-profit, independent group of volunteer licensed mental health professionals including psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, registered nurses, and marriage and family therapists."

The Soldiers Project exists to provide free and confidential mental health services for military service members who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan or who expect to serve in these conflicts. Mental health services are also provided for families and loved ones of service members. Counseling and support is available to active duty, activated Reserve, and Guard United members. The Soldiers Project "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."

The Soldiers Project is independent and does to report to any government agency.

We want to support what The Soldiers Project is doing in the Pasadena community. Most of all, we want to support military service members as they struggle through trauma and transitions. If you would like to make a donation to the organization, you can do so here.

We are grateful for all that The Soldiers Project is doing!
