a Helping Our Heroes FLOURISH Campaign Unveiled! At the 2025 “UNITED” AACC World Conference in Nashville, Chad Robichaux, founder of the Mighty Anchored in faith-informed care and proven training, the Alliance empow ers churches, service organizations, and community partners to provide holistic, evidence-based support. Together, we strengthen families, renew communities, and help America’s heroes and their families flourish. The mission of the Human Flourishing Alliance is to move beyond mental health alone and advance a fuller vision of human flourishing: hope, healing, wellness, strong families, and moral grounding. Central to this mission is widening the circle of care to include churches and faith-based organiza tions, equipping them to stand alongside America’s heroes and play an active role in meeting their spiritual, emotional, mental, physical, and relational needs. By empowering congregations and community partners, the Alliance ensures that care is accessible, scalable, and rooted in the communities where families live.

Oaks Foundation, joined John Sanders, CEO of LUKE Staffing, to announce the launch of the Helping Our Heroes FLOURISH Campaign. This major initiative, created in partnership with the AACC, LUKE Staffing, and LOGOS, marks the beginning of the Human Flourishing Alliance, a nation wide movement to restore hope, strengthen families, and help America’s heroes thrive. The Human Flourishing Alliance is a national coalition that restores lives and creates path ways to flourishing for those who serve and sacrifice for our country.

The launch comes at a critical time. Across the nation, service members, veterans, and first responders are facing the lasting effects of trauma, stress, and moral injury. Too many struggle in silence. The Human Flourishing Alliance seeks to change that by linking professional mental healthcare pro viders and trained coaches with trusted faith and community networks. This approach ensures that support reaches the heart as well as the mind, provid ing care that is personal, local, and lasting.
