About
Pro Allies is a support organization designed to bring all military and military veterans, law enforcement, fire, and emergency medical professionals, and their immediate families together in safe environments to offer support to one another. Support opportunities are offered as face-to-face support groups, online groups, and through a variety of social media platforms.
All invited to attend Pro Allies activities have dealt with, or are currently dealing with, scenarios that would shake most of the general population to their core. Our families often feel and deal with our struggles in a variety of ways. We are natural protectors. This is a reason why we all answered the call to "Serve". Our protective nature sometimes makes it hard for us to share with others as we do not wish to cause others harm.
Pro Allies does not report to any insurance, military, law enforcement, fire, or emergency response agencies. Pro Allies is not a licensed therapy group. We simply offer the opportunity to listen, share, pray, and offer support to one another.

Pro Allies provides a real time, real world, opportunity to meet and embrace others who are on a similar journey. Sharing our experiences and challenges with others, lets us know we are not alone and that positive progress in dealing with trauma can be found in a close and caring community of our peers.

I though my experience was unique and I was suffering alone until I found Pro Allies. I appreciate the efforts of Rodney the founder. He cares about all of us.

As a female police officer I've experienced situations that forever changed my life and who I am. Sharing and talking with others has lifted my burdens and worries. I am grateful
