Mission Statement

Operation Angel Wing (OPAW) is a non-profit organization that targets the individual needs of American veterans, active military, the Public Safety Service community, and their families suffering from the devastating effects of Post-Traumatic Stress. OPAW is dedicated to aiding and assisting our Protectors, their families, and the communities they serve, one victory at a time.

OPAW HURRICANE HELENE SUPPORT AND OUTREACH //

OPERATION ANGEL WING IS PROVIDING DIRECT ASSISTANCE TO THE AFFECTED REGIONS OF NORTH CAROLINA AND TENNESSEE FOLLOWING THE DEVESTATING EFFECTS OF HURRICANE HELENE:

IT IS TIME FOR ACTION: THE NEED IS REAL

The OPAW network is a federally registered disaster response organization. This means that we are one of the few entities that can access and provide help to areas that have been restricted to the public—these are the areas that now desperately need help.

People and communities are without power and supplies for basic subsistence in several of the hardest hit areas, and resources are not finding their way to them fast enough. We are able to step in and provide intermittent response while our Public Safety Services and residents are waiting for a more permanent resolution.

As for now, in THIS MOMENT, the focus needs to be on SOLUTIONS. Here is how, with the help of funding, OPAW can truly help fill this gap:

  • Food service to the Responder community and the citizens of affected areas

  • Critical Incident Stress Management for Responders and residents

  • Suicide Prevention Training and support

  • Chaplaincy Services; we offer a full behavioral emergency readiness program

  • Communications Support: Direct resources to establish Starlink capabilities in remote locations where people are currently experiencing limited communications

  • Mental Health support, to include trauma coaching and resilience training for youth and adults

We have had people on the ground since the rivers first overflowed, connecting with victims and bringing supplies to first responders and citizens. Now we have partners joining us in the effort, allowing for larger-scale food delivery and critical resource provisions. Please support this effort!

Donate here, and help us continue to fight for the victims of Helene:

“One Victory at A Time”

The Operation Angel Wing Network provides both clinical and non-clinical services.

In the wake of the war in Afghanistan, our Nation loses 22 to 45 Veterans per day due to suicide and drug overdose. More Public Safety Service Personnel die by suicide than in the line of duty.

OPAW has created programming to place integrated and innovative evidence-based, proprietary, and safe training, tools and strategies into the hands of our Nation’s defenders, arming them to make a stand in defense of this Nation’s humanitarian crisis.

If you are interested in one of our trainings, email us at operationangelwing@gmail.com to inquire about our opportunities.

Proprietary Programming and therapies:

  • Therapeutic Narrative-safe use of personal narrative

  • Six-Week Trauma-Informed Protocol—current studies show a 96% success rate for overcoming suicidal ideation and reduction of traumatic stress and anxiety

  • “Deciphering the Defender’s Moral Code”

If you are suffering from the effects of Post Traumatic Stress or know someone who is, we are standing by to assist.
