"As a clinical social worker and a United States Army Reservist, I am proud to support the SOFAR initiative. This program has many of our country's leading mental health clinicians providing pro bono mental health support for military families. From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank them. As a member of a unit that will be deployed to Iraq at some point in the future, I am comforted to know that the SOFAR initiative is there to support my family if they need it."
CPT Jeffrey M. Cox 883rd MED CO (CSC)

SOFAR is a project of the Psychoanalytic Couple and Family Institute of New England (PCFINE) in partnership with Division 39 of the American Psychological Association and other participating organizations
How Can You Help?
Why Donate to SOFAR?
Our troops deploy to honor the commitment they made to serve our country. We are committed to serve their families. What will your commitment be?
Help us give families the support and care they deserve. While all direct services from SOFAR are free of charge we have organizational and administrative costs. We need financial support to produce and distribute educational publications for teachers and pediatricians, to run workshops to train teachers to serve as first responders for the traumatized children of soldiers. We need funds to access families of Reservists who are spread out through out the country.
SOFAR is a 501c(3) non-profit organization and donations are tax-deductible. Your donations might go toward such projects as:
- Sponsor a work shop for teachers on children and trauma
- Donate a set of training tapes to a new branch of SOFAR
- Underwrite the printing and distribution of "The 'SOFAR' Guide for Helping Children and Youth Cope With the Deployment of a Parent in the Military Reserves
- Help underwrite administrative costs so all the volunteer time can be used in direct service
