Give an Hour’s Military Program addresses the unique challenges and needs for prioritizing mental health and emotional wellbeing in the military community. Give an Hour's approach to mental wellbeing and treatment assists in closing access and delivery gaps to reduce extensive delays that can make mild symptoms worse and recovery more difficult. By diversifying options for care, Give an Hour addresses the disparity between available mental health professionals and community needs.

Trauma Informed Peer Support

Give an Hour’s peer support program is an evidence-informed and customizable training program designed specifically for those affected by trauma. Peer support is the process of giving and receiving encouragement and assistance to achieve long-term resilience and recovery. Supporters offer emotional support, share knowledge, teach skills, provide practical assistance, and connect people with resources, opportunities, and communities of support. GAH-trained peer supporters offer their unique lived experience to provide support focused on advocacy, education, mentoring, and motivation. Peer support is not therapy. While peer supporters have been trained and are being supported by a team of mental health professionals, peer supporters are not licensed, mental health clinicians.
