We are excited to share a significant milestone in Ten Ten Life's ministry and growth! We have reached 500 counseling and/or coaching sessions since we started this journey together! This is an exciting testament to our ongoing commitment and dedication to caring for, engaging with, and investing in the lives and mental health of military members, veterans, and first responders.

Over 500 sessions, we have been blessed to witness and facilitate incredible growth, freedom, and transformation in the lives and stories of our members. We are honored that they have entered into this work with us and have taken important steps along the healing journey.

While we briefly pause to acknowledge this accomplishment, we are still focused and driven to continue growing our impact in this community. We are looking ahead to the NEXT 500 sessions and invite you to partner with us and support our ministry as we continue to grow.

Today, we're honoring Jay Piña as he steps down from the Board of Directors to pursue new opportunities and ventures. Jay's dedicated service over the last three years has been integral to the formation and growth of Ten Ten Life. In addition to serving on the Board, Jay was also the co-founder of Ten Ten Life and served as Deputy Executive Director during the organization's formative period. He has been described as the "catalyst" of the organization, helping to bring the vision of Ten Ten Life to fruition with dedication, a commitment to excellence, and intentionality.

With Jay's leadership and guidance, a calm and steady hand in the uncertain waters of building an organization and bringing a dream to life, much of the groundwork and foundations for Ten Ten Life were put in place. You will find his imprint and influence throughout our DNA, and the impact of his service will continue to influence our growth and accomplishments moving forward.

Jay is a veteran of the U.S. Coast Guard and is also a retired special agent of the Department of Homeland Security. We thank him for his service to our nation as well as to our organization!

Thank you, Jay—may the seas lie smooth before you, may wisdom chart your course, and may hope be your North Star that guides you as you sail into all your future ventures!

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that.”

Today, we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his unwavering commitment to justice, integrity, and equality in our communities. This is not only a day of remembrance, but also an inspiration and encouragement to continue working, caring, and engaging in our communities, helping others, driving out darkness, and bringing light that leads to health and wholeness. We aspire to do this through our core values of Love, Integration, Freedom, and Equipping.

May we carry Dr. King's dream forward through our words, actions, and service.

📣 PARTNER ANNOUNCEMENT 📣
Ten Ten Life is partnering with Willing Warriors and will lead FREE Group Therapy Weekend Retreats for military members, veterans, and first responders at the Warriors Retreat at Bull Run in Haymarket, VA. These new quarterly retreats will accelerate trauma recovery through Dr. Curt Thompson's Confessional Community® model

Ten Ten Life, a faith-based nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting the mental health of military members, veterans, and first responders, today announced a partnership with Willing Warriors to offer recurring group therapy intensive retreats at the Willing Warriors’ Warrior Retreat Center at Bull Run in Haymarket, Va—at NO COST to participants.

To facilitate deeper healing and recovery for participants, each 3-day retreat offering will utilize the Confessional Community® group therapy model, developed by renowned psychiatrist, Curt Thompson, M.D., founder and Chief Purpose Officer of New Story Behavioral Health in Falls Church, Va.

Retreats will be hosted at the Willing Warriors’ Warrior Retreat at Bull Run in Haymarket, a 37-acre retreat center ideally suited for deep therapeutic work.

“Healing is a journey. For those who have gained a greater understanding of their life stories through individual trauma-focused therapy, structured group therapy models like the Confessional Community® can be a powerful next step to accelerate recovery and serve as a powerful catalyst for healing and long-term change...” David Steele, LMFT, CEO of Ten Ten Life.

“Those who serve often carry a unique burden of silence, believing that their experiences are too heavy to share or that no one else could possibly understand. With these group intensive retreats, Ten Ten Life is creating a sanctuary where that silence can be broken...” Dr. Curt Thompson of New Story Behavioral Health

"We are honored to partner with Ten Ten Life in this important work. Our facility has always been a place of healing and hope for military families, and now for first responders. By hosting these retreats, we hope to extend our impact and provide a sanctuary where our heroes can experience the transformative power of authentic community alongside others who truly understand their journey." Sarah Ford, Executive Director, at Willing Warriors.

The Winter Solstice marks the longest night of the year. But it is also a turning point. The moment the light begins its return. From here on, each day will slowly grow longer, lighter, and brighter.

The solstice is a reminder that brighter days are ahead and that even in the deepest darkness, change is already underway and hope can begin to grow.

If you’re walking through a dark season, know that you are not alone. We will make it through this longest night knowing that starting tomorrow, warmth and light will build and grow.

If you or someone you know is in a dark season and is in need of help, reach out and start a conversation. Contact us here or through our website, or you can call, text, or chat the 988 Lifeline for support anytime 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline

You are not alone. We will get through this together.

Timelapse video of The Stars and Stripes NOVA Committee 3rd Annual Clothing and Food Distribution event this past Saturday! We were honored to join and support Stars and Stripes NOVA at this amazing event in Herndon, VA

We believe giving back to our local community is important, which is why Community Missions is a key milestone on our L.I.F.E. Journey Program. We strive to partner with other nonprofits and organizations doing good and affecting change in our local communities. Actively contributing to the health and healing of others is one way we can find greater personal healing and fullness ourselves.

The Stars and Stripes NOVA Committee primarily supports veterans and first responders, but this event served all those in need in our community.

Thank you to all who joined us and supported this event!

📆 A friendly reminder to join us TOMORROW Saturday, Dec 6th as we team up with The Stars and Stripes NOVA Committee at their 3rd Annual Clothing and Food Distribution event from 8am - 12pm at Green Lizard Cycling in Herndon, VA.

Last year's event saw ~20,000 pounds of food distributed to several thousand people. Goya Foods, the Capital Area Food Bank, and local grocery stores contributed to the distribution.

All are welcome to join us and help! Sign up with the Stars and Stripes NOVA Committee and then let us know you're coming. We hope to see you there!

At Ten Ten Life, we believe in the importance of giving back to the local community through Community Missions and supporting other organizations and nonprofits working to make a difference. It is one of our core program areas and deeply connected to our DNA as an organization. We see this as one way we can find greater personal healing and fullness by actively contributing to the health and healing of others.

While the Stars and Stripes NOVA Committee primarily supports veterans and first responders, this event aims to provide nutritious food to ALL those in need in our local community, as we see many grappling with the personal impact of cuts to government agencies and services as well as the rising cost of living.

From Trauma to Transformation: Impact Report 2024-25
We are proud to share highlights and milestones from our past year in the 2024-25 Impact Report. This year at Ten Ten Life, we expanded our programs to better serve and support our members as they embark on their healing journey. Our commitment to foster healing and wholeness for military members, veterans, and first responders continued this year as we strive to provide a deeper level of lasting care.

Across over 240 counseling and coaching sessions provided, we saw significant improvements in our clients' symptoms.
This year Ten Ten Life clients experienced:
⬇️ 42% reduction in anxiety
⬇️ 57.5% reduction in depression
⬆️ 85.4% improvement in the Domains of Post-Traumatic Growth. These domains include New Possibilities, Increased Personal Strength, Enhanced Relationships, Appreciation of Life, and Spiritual/Religious Growth

We are also thrilled to report that 100% of our clients no longer meet the clinical threshold for PTSD!

Looking ahead to next year, we are excited to connect and partner with more communities, churches, and organizations in the DMV area (DC, Maryland, and Virginia) to continue growing our reach and impact as we invite members to join us on the healing L.I.F.E. Journey through Individual Therapy, Group Intensive Retreats, and Community Missions, a comprehensive program founded on our core values of Love, Integration, Freedom, and Equipping

If you would like to support our mission and help us grow and expand our impact in the coming year, visit our Get Involved page at tentenlife.org/get-involved to Donate, Sponsor, Volunteer, or Partner with us!
