Stand Beside Them
Stand Beside Them (SBT) has a mission to coach and empower America's veterans and their spouses/caregivers to achieve success at home, at work, and in the community.
ICF Maryland coaches provide pro-bono coaching support to veterans and/or their family members. As coaches we understand that our support is intended to help veterans or their family members successfully achieve reintegration in work, family and the community. The coaching is fully remote and SBT attempts to pair coaches with 1-2 coachees a year located in the same time zone or same state. Coaches must already hold an ICF credential.
Coaching will not include providing any mental health counseling or any form of psychological or psychiatric assistance to SBT.
If you would like to give back in this arena and are interested in providing coaching to members of SBT, please visit the Stand Beside Them website for more information and/or submit your resume to our Pro Bono Committee.
