Initiatives
Wife Support
Our mission revolves around responding to wives and families in times of tragedy and challenges, rejoicing with them in times of triumph, supporting mental health, and encouraging every spouse to be the strength behind the badge. We have created a space where wives can come together to have a sense of community, to feel physically, emotionally, and spiritually safe, and to be reassured they’re not alone. Whether it’s by a virtual workshop, wife gathering, a simple word of encouragement, or motivation to get through the day, our wives are here for each other.
