Never Walk Alone

Welcome to Standing Stronger Together, (SST), a Michigan nonprofit corporation dedicated to shattering the stigma associated with symptoms of traumatic stress and to creating and growing a healing community where individuals are empowered to prioritize their mental health and wellbeing.

OUR MISSION

Standing Stronger Togethers’ mission is to foster hope, build resilience, and support healing from the impacts of traumatic stress in a safe and inclusive environment with clinically informed peer led support. We aim to address the invisible wounds of traumatic stress that First Responders, Veterans and their families often bear in silence, due to stigma, lack of education, or limited access to culturally competent resources. We believe in the power of authentic connection, effective peer support, and clinical expertise to create lasting change.

Managing the symptoms of traumatic stress has been described as ‘climbing a mountain’ day after day. Standing Stronger Together is here to make that journey easier by enabling access to mental health education & peer support and cultivating connections through community outreach.

Together we stand stronger.
