Our Mission
Our mission at Beacon of Hope & Healing is to raise awareness about the impact of Post- Traumatic Stress Disorder and Substance Abuse on family members of Military and First Responders, as well as to help build pathways to recovery for those affected family members.
“There is no time stamp on trauma. There isn’t a formula you can insert yourself into to get from horror to healed. Be patient. Take up space. Let your journey be the balm. - Dawn Serra
