Join me in support of SBT & veterans transitioning back to civilian life...we can continue to make a difference together!

Dear Friend,

We all remember how veterans were treated when they returned from Vietnam. We are passionate about making sure that veterans receive the attention, care, and respect that they deserve. Navigating transition back to civilian life can be difficult. One 501c3 nonprofit organization, Stand Beside Them, stepped in to help by providing coaching from certified experienced coaches.

As a psychologist and coach who has worked with active duty and veteran military personnel for many years I've had the opportunity to have a unique perspective on the Stand Beside Them family. SBT started with six coaches in NYC in 2013 (see my photo above at the launch),and I've watched (and supported) SBT's growth now to 175 coaches in 28 states. Coaching veterans as they acclimate to new careers and civilian life has been rewarding to all of us SBT coaches. SBT couldn't have done this without the help of generous people like you; so I'm turning to you to be our heroes and help make a difference together on behalf of more veterans.

Here's a few of Stand Beside Them's accomplishments in 2017:

• SBT added 40 new coaches on to its roster, now totaling 175 and 14 of the new coaches come from the military!
• SBT has raised its visibility, attracting partnerships with academic (University of Michigan) and corporate entities (Accenture, L'OrealUSA).
• SBT continued to bring coaches to coach on-site at veteran events in Washington, D.C., Fort Knox, Phoenix, Tucson, and NYC, with plans to do more across the country.
• SBT developed a "Corporate Veteran Coaching Program" to help newly-hired veterans adjust to corporate culture.

SBT has great plans for this coming year...to roll out the corporate veteran coaching program in full force; to expand to the 20 remaining states where we still don't have coaches; and to intensify our marketing efforts to reach more veterans than ever before. Our work is having a great impact! Many of our coachees are finding jobs and starting new businesses.

Please help SBT so we can stand beside our veterans together! Any amount that you can donate will make a difference. Just don't forget to click the donate button! And thanks for taking the time to care about our veterans and learn about SBT!

Best, Pat
