THE SOLDIERS PROJECT NORTHWEST RECEIVES $17,000 GRANT
Mark Newton of the Foundation stated in his letter to Trisha Pearce RN, "The Johnson Haefling Foundation is pleased to award The Soldiers Project Northwest a grant of $17,000 to support the proposed training, travel, and marketing efforts. The Board of the foundation is very hopeful that these funds will help jump-start a much needed effort to support our returning soldiers and their loved ones, as well as those who are scheduled for deployment and their loved ones. In particular we applaud the completely confidential, inclusive, non-discriminatory nature of your important work. As a veteran I have been moved by your mission, sensitivity, passion and energy. Dr. Broder has indeed created something quite special and needed. I am confident you are the right person, and this is the right time for that work to take root in the Northwest."

Vets helped to conquer their despair
In his three tours of duty in Iraq, Army Spc. Jason Shaw saw more than his share of blood and guts.
He'd seen men blown out of Bradleys. He'd seen six friends die. And he'd carried a head full of anger and a soul racked by despair.
But instead of seeking psychological help from the Veterans Administration, he went to The Soldiers Project - a Studio City-based network of licensed psychotherapists who give free mental health support to military members and their families.
What is The Soldiers Project?
We are a group of licensed mental health professionals who offer free psychological treatment to military service members (active duty, National Guard, Reserves and veterans) who have served or who expect to serve in the conflicts in Iraq or Afghanistan. We also provide treatment to members of their families and other loved ones. Treatment is conducted in our private offices. Our therapists are all volunteers and our services are entirely confidential. We do not report to any governmental agency.
We are a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization as defined by the IRS. Contributions are fully tax-deductible.
Because of LAISPS' commitment to bringing psychoanalytic understanding to underserved groups within our community it established the Ernest S. Lawrence Trauma Center. The Center's projects are run by volunteer licensed clinicians who provide free psychoanalytically-informed psychological services to "at-risk" populations as well as educational presentations to the community.
