2Veteran Support Providedat Inspiring Alliance
- The purpose of our Inspiring Alliance
Wounded Warrior Program is to provide one-to-one
support to soldiers who sustained combat injuries
while serving in the Operation Endearing Freedom
or Operation Iraqi Freedom occupation. We
coordinate support in areas to meet medical
needs, housing adaptation to coincide with any
related disabilities sustained, emergency
financial crisis, temporary living assistance,
career counseling/job placement, educational
benefits, legal support and mentorship. Our focus
is to "inspire" each of our clients to think
about what they can achieve in life instead of
focusing on what they accomplished in the past.
We are champions for conquering life challenges,
and we stand ready to provide whatever programs
necessary to help our soldiers realize what they
are capable of today! - Inspiring Alliance Wounded Warrior
Program differs from other organizations in that
we remain with a service member to provide
long-term service throughout his or her
convalescence period, and we provide face-to-face
service counseling whenever possible in that
soldiers hometown. Once a soldier reaches a
point where he (she) is interested in career
objectives again, we also assist in the task of
making the transition from military to civilian
life. Our organization offers career assessment
and counseling, and direct-placement positions
with some firms. In addition, we have partnered
with more than 150 employers across the country
who are pro-active in hiring veterans. - Inspiring Alliance acts as an
ambassador for more 500 programs that support
thousands of volunteers across the country who
have a sense of compassion for what these brave
men and women must endure to continue a life as
close to what they had previous to their
combat-related injuries. We focus on bridging the
gap between the traumatic transition facing our
Wounded Warrior and a life balance that includes
whatever services required to meet that veteran's
rehabilitation needs to provide the greatest
level of freedom and independence possible for
that individual.
3How do we differ?
- We are often asked how Inspiring Alliance
differs from other nonprofit service
organizations that provide products or services
to military service members - We act as an ambassador of more than 500
verified veteran support programs that we refer
service members to, and we only represent those
that prove contributions support veteran needs,
not just administrative costs. - We provide long-term one-to-one mentorship to
wounded warriors this allows us to assess needs
and create a road map to achieve a successful
transition during difficult times. - We are coordinating objectives between the V.A.,
Dept. of Labor, and Veterans Benefits
Administration to support a patient training
program for wounded warriors who have
successfully transitioned out of military medical
facilities who will mentor fellow patients
through their transition process. Our Inspiring
Alliance Patient Recovery Program is a training
program that enhances patient recovery. This
program will be supported by proven performs
our wounded warrior lending characteristics of
true mentorship as one comrade supports another
through the transition process to complete a
cycle of similar success. The expected launch
date of this training-mentorship program is
September 1, 2009. - For additional information on the "Inspiring
Alliance Patient Recovery Program please - contact our Corporate Office at 480-306-6082.
