To the spouse, partner, parent, or adult child of a veteran or first responder: you matter in this story, too. Maybe you’ve noticed the restless nights, the silence, or how much of the day comes home with someone you love. You don’t have to figure out what to do by yourself.
Outer Circle Foundation offers no-cost family support services, peer groups where family members can connect with people who understand, and mental health counseling referrals. Your loved one can also access REBOOT Trauma Recovery and 24/7 crisis intervention and su***de prevention support. Our mission includes PTSD treatment, su***de prevention, and career coaching, with care for families along the way. Faith can be part of healing if that feels right for you; support is offered with compassion, never pressure.
You can reach out on someone else’s behalf. Asking for guidance isn’t a betrayal; it can be a loving first step. We’re here for our Marietta and Cobb County neighbors, and our Dallas and Paulding County community.
If you are in crisis, call or text 988, any hour. For immediate emergency danger, call 911.
No Hero Fights Alone. If someone came to mind as you read this, would you share this post with them?

What could two days away from the noise and the radio make possible? A little room to pause, do guided trauma recovery work, and connect with people who already understand the job.
REBOOT Trauma Recovery is now a two-day intensive retreat built specifically for firefighters, police officers, EMTs and paramedics. Veterans are welcome through the same program. The retreat brings together guided recovery work, holistic options alongside traditional counseling, and the support of a peer community. A faith-based, whole-person approach is at the heart of everything we do.
REBOOT is free to the person who needs it, made possible by donor support. And support doesn’t end when the retreat does: peer groups, mental health counseling referrals and career transition coaching are also available.

The people who run toward the hardest calls are often the last to ask for help themselves.
Outer Circle Foundation exists so veterans of every military branch, police officers, firefighters, EMTs, paramedics, and the families who carry the weight alongside them do not have to carry it alone.
Our support includes 24/7 crisis intervention and su***de prevention, mental health counseling referrals, peer-support groups where the person sitting beside you has already walked a similar road, and the REBOOT Trauma Recovery Program. We also offer career coaching for those navigating what comes next.
You do not have to have the right words or a perfect explanation. A first step can be as simple as reaching out. With faith offered as an invitation, not a requirement, we make room for honest conversation, compassionate support, and hope.
To our neighbors in Marietta and Cobb County, Dallas and Paulding County, and the surrounding communities: you are not alone. Visit www.outercirclefoundation.org to connect with resources and learn more.
If you are in crisis, call or text 988, any hour. If there is immediate danger, call 911.
Please share this with someone who may need a reminder that support is available.

When Marietta Square sings, Cobb County shows up, and Airaoke is coming back!
Airaoke, “The Ultimate Karaoke Fundraiser,” is now part of the Outer Circle Foundation family and returns to the historic Strand Theatre on Saturday, August 21, 2027.
Doors open at 6:00 PM, and the show runs from 7:00–10:00 PM at 117 N Park Square, Marietta Square, Marietta, GA. With a magician and mentalist as MC, 25 singers will be called down at random to compete. Five judges will count for half the vote, while the live audience text vote counts for the other half. The winner takes home a $1,500 cash grand prize, with prizes also awarded for 2nd and 3rd place.
This night was built alongside the 911 Fallen Hero Project, and we honor the first responders we've lost. We carry that purpose forward.
After event costs, proceeds from Airaoke support Outer Circle Foundation programs providing mental health resources, crisis intervention and su***de prevention, peer support, and career transition support for veterans, first responders, and their families.
Bring your hometown spirit, cheer for the performers, and help make this a night of music, remembrance, and hope in the heart of Marietta Square.
