Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Shields and Stripes goals:
- Treat 96 First Responders and Veterans annually in our 3month intensive outpatient care program
- Continue to offer educational services to First Responder and Active Military members on Operator Syndrome and symptoms of PTSD
- Ultimately bring attention to the model of a holistic approach that much be used to address all aspects of the human body, nutrition, physical fitness, mindfulness and spirituality
- Acquire enough funding to open brick and mortar facility in order to facilitate more treatment for more of our nations heroes

Shields and Stripes is actively working towards and acquiring partnerships in the Health and Wellness industries as well as Travel industries.

A majority of S&S's expenses come from travel costs, a partnership with airlines and lodging services would significantly reduce the financial impact those have on our organizations and ultimately afford us the ability to serve more of our heroes.

We plan to utilize corporate sponsors and partners for outreach, treating veterans who have transitioned out of service and into the corporate world yet still battling traumas while serving in the military

We are building community relationships with local first responders to address their needs in the health and wellness space so they can continue to be good stewards to their community.

Our capabilities continue to grow as our operational and clinical staff grows.

Currently utilize a full therapy staff of:
Clinical Psychologists and Social Workers
Registered Dieticians
Physical Therapists
Occupational Therapists
Strength and Conditioning coaches

Our operational staff is well versed in business development and has a wealth of experience in the health and wellness space as users of the treatment programs.

Our Board continues to grow with vast experiences in all industries keeping our organization mixed with various viewpoints, opinions and recommendations for healthy growth.

Our board of advisors is a dedicated group of professionals that provide assistance in fields that the leadership staff is not intimately familiar with, making them a critical resource to the company when building contracts and agreements.
