Battle Angel Network

In the military we have our battle buddies that we can rely on for those tough moments that we experience during our time of service. At SOS we created a Battle Angel Network to continue the support needed after a retreat. When a retreat ends, each participant is assigned a Battle Angel. Battle Angels provide assistance when needed and can be incredibly helpful in navigating triggers that may arise. Battle Angels provide regular check-ins with participants, provide potential resources and referrals for counseling, and lend an ear when a participant just needs to chat. 

We appreciate that you are taking the time to understand the roles and responsibilities of a Battle Angel. We understand that this network is built on volunteers and we want to ensure that everyone is safe. We want to make sure that no one is left alone and that is why we provide resources to our volunteers. Battle Angels do not provide counseling services, however they do provide a safe and supportive environment where participants can find help if they need it. 

We are so excited to have Battle Angels join us as part of our retreat community! Some Battle Angels are individuals who may have participated in one or more of our retreats and have chosen to pay it forward by offering their time, energy, and advice to future retreat participants. They are an invaluable resource to our community and we appreciate their willingness to share their experiences and offer support. We welcome them with open arms and thank them for their dedication!
