Caring for Those Who Serve Military service members, veterans, and first responders live with pressures that very few fully understand. The emotional and spiritual toll of trauma, moral injury, and loss often lingers long after the uniform is retired. The new Military and First Responder Mental Health Coaching (MFRC) program equips students to walk beside these men and women with compassion, practical tools, and clinical understanding anchored in faith. The two-course program, MFRC 101 and MFRC 201, provides a foundation in trauma-informed care, resilience, and recovery. Students will learn from respected voices such as Dr. Tim Murphy, former U.S. Congressman and clinical psychologist; Lt. Col. Dave Grossman, retired U.S. Army Ranger and author of On Killing and On Combat , known for his work on the psychology of warfare and resilience; Dr. Harold Koenig, a leading researcher in faith and health at Duke University; and Dr. Shannae Anderson, trauma psychologist
