Survivor Corps is an organization striving to help people around the world who have suffered from violence and war help rebuild their lives and reintegrate into the community.
I recently received an email from Survivor Corp notifying me of their special
microsite put together for Veterans Day. Although I'm kind of a day late and a dollar short here, the organization has ask me to blog about their program
Operation Survivor. Because I'm lazy and probably could not explain it any better, I will now quote from their site:
Survivor Corps launched Operation Survivor in 2008 to help American service members returning home from war. This program enables these brave men and women to overcome the debilitating effects of trauma and to reintegrate into their families and communities.
Operation Survivor currently includes three initiatives:
- Community-based Partnerships in Peer Support –We are training organizations to connect those affected by war so that they may better overcome trauma and injury, reconnect with their families, and contribute to their communities. This approach, known as peer support, is based on the understanding that the best help comes from someone who has been through a similar experience.
- SurvivorNet – We are building an online community of support that will connect service members to peers with a shared experience, using survivor hosted blogs, innovative social networking, and links to additional resources.
- Convene Government, Business, and Nonprofit Institutions– No single organization can fully address the homecoming of so many. A collaborative approach is needed. Survivor Corps is bringing together, for the first time, leaders from across sectors to work together on a better approach to the healthy reintegration of returning troops. Learn More.
