In a statewide survey, NH veterans let us know that one of the top barriers in receiving care was that they “do not feel understood by the providers who serve them.” Military culture education can bridge that gap, and has the power to transform care by equipping providers with the tools they need to improve rapport, communication, and referral pathways. Dare Mighty Things conducts military culture training for civilian Service Providers with the goal of improving access to and quality of care for Service Members, Veterans, and their Families. To learn more and schedule a training for your agency, contact Jacqueline Bessette at jjb@daremightythings.com.

“Far better it is to dare mighty things.”

These words, spoken by Teddy Roosevelt, inspired me 25 years ago to launch DMT. Since that time, I have been privileged to serve with hundreds of DMT team members who believed these words, committing themselves to bold endeavors on behalf of our clients, working together to help vulnerable people survive and thrive. Because they acted, today hundreds of thousands of lives have been transformed. Remember, “it is not the critic who counts; nor the one who points out how the strong person stumbled…the credit belongs to the person who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust, and sweat, and blood.” So don’t just dream. Do.
