Fresh Start Foundation, a Merakey program, achieved certification in PsychArmor, a well-known veteran training organization recognized by the Veterans Administration and the national veterans’ service continuum. Fresh Start Foundation received this certification in recognition of the dedication of their staff and volunteers, and their commitment to supporting veterans and the military community.

The SANCTUARY® MODEL promotes safety and recovery from adversity.
