Terrence Pierce is one of the therapists for the NSPIRE program. He is an important contributor to the overall success of our clients. His story and perspective is unique.

On average, 15% of NSPIRE clients are military veterans, highlighting the connection between PTSD, that often accompanies military service, and homelessness. This is part of the story of Garry Dubose who was in a very dark place with mental health, addiction, and hopelessness. He came to NSPIRE…and everything changed.

Tanya Brown had it all: an impressive military career as an officer in the US Army, a husband, two healthy children, the quintessential American dream.

But when mounting military pressures and stress triggered Bipolar 1, with psychotic features, her life was upended.

Within a short time, she lost her career and after years of struggle and a series of manic episodes, she damaged relationships with her family and was devastated financially.

Drowning in the ups and down of her disease, and following multiple hospitalizations, Tanya reached a breaking point.

That’s when she called NSPIRE…and everything changed.
