2026 partnerships expand GPP connections

Published

GPP's 2026 partnerships connect trauma-support training, behavioral health expertise, veteran outreach and animal-assisted activities. Our clinician partnerships include HC Solutions Training & Consulting LLC and Phoenix Behavioral Health & Wellness. These relationships support coordination, professional learning and appropriate next-step connections. Clinical services and non-clinical peer support have distinct roles; provider qualifications, service availability and any fees should be confirmed with the relevant organization.

GPP has also established a partnership with VALOR Texas in connection with veteran support and equine program opportunities. During 2026, GPP has worked with several regional no-kill shelters on grounding sessions and basic canine-care classes. These activities focus on routine, responsible animal care and connection. They do not imply that every participating animal is a trained service animal or that every session is clinical treatment.

Ask GPP about current participation options, volunteer roles, partner coordination or support for a specific activity.

Philippines MEMI training builds a practitioner pathway

Published

GPP sent a team to the Philippines to provide MEMI protocol training for military and law-enforcement personnel who encounter traumatic situations through their work. The training is intended to build practical support skills and a pathway for participants who want to continue learning and help colleagues.

GPP's preliminary field report identifies nearly 30 participants beginning the practitioner pathway. This is an approximate participation figure, not a count of completed certifications. Participants' progress, training requirements and future practitioner roles will be reported separately as records are compiled.

The team reports positive feedback from the sessions. That feedback is an early account of participant experience; it does not establish a clinical success rate or replace formal evaluation. GPP will distinguish attendance, pathway progress, participant feedback and measured outcomes in future aggregate reporting.

Kerrville response and continuing support

Published

Following the 2025 disaster in Kerrville, Texas, GPP deployed its Disaster Response Team and search-and-rescue element to assist the local response. The team supported local and state law-enforcement personnel, first responders, search-and-rescue teams and heavy-equipment operators with technical, physical and logistical work.

GPP helped coordinate individual teams arriving from across the United States into a working unit. Support included moving debris to improve access and assisting the wider response effort. This work augmented the agencies and personnel already operating in the affected community.

GPP also provided MEMI-related support involving first responders, volunteers and community members. The team reports strongly positive participant feedback and accounts of relief after sessions. These accounts are qualitative observations. No verified improvement percentage, clinical effectiveness rate or long-term outcome is claimed here. Session totals, measures and follow-up information will be added when compiled and reviewed.

Humanitarian support for displaced families in Burma

Published

GPP participated in humanitarian aid work in Burma (Myanmar) throughout 2025 and 2026. The team's field account describes food assistance reaching hundreds of displaced families and refugees, support for temporary shelters, and help establishing a small clinic in a conflict-affected area.

GPP also supported training in medical procedures for austere environments, where infrastructure, transport and access to supplies can be limited. Public updates describe the type of assistance and the communities served at a broad level. Names, precise locations, routes and operational details are withheld to protect families, local partners and personnel.

The reported family reach is an organizational field estimate. A detailed public mission ledger, verified household count and audited impact total are not presented here. GPP will share further aggregate information when it can do so responsibly.
