WARM is dedicated to providing a personal approach to healing by walking with survivors side by side in their journey. We help navigate frontlines and serve those under-resourced, left with little to no aid. Going beyond formalities, we support survivors and our community effectively by cutting through the bureaucracy that too often delays, derails, and blocks the help people need.

The Mission of Trauma and Resiliency Resources (TRR) is to end military suicides. They do this by focusing on Military Moral Injury© – a term coined to describe the wounding to the heart and soul of our warfighters and to distinguish that experience from what others are calling “moral injuries.” TRR saves the lives of military veterans, and also improves and changes their lives. They do this through our Warrior Camp® program. TRR’s focus is not simply on the prevention of veteran suicide, but on improving the day-to-day lives of our nation's combat veterans and the people closest to them.

They are part of an advocacy movement seeking to permanently close Rikers. Thanks to the collective work of committed advocates, there are no more 16-17-year-olds incarcerated on Rikers Island.
