About Us

TRA (Trauma Recovery Alliance) is a community-rooted nonprofit organization supporting Veterans, First Responders, and families affected by PTSD and trauma-related challenges.

Founded in 2024 by Shawn and Jami Joannes, TRA was created from lived experience and a shared belief that healing happens through connection, understanding, and community support. TRA works to reduce stigma, build awareness, and create opportunities for individuals and families to reconnect with purpose, hope, and belonging.

Through workshops, public events, peer support, and community partnerships, TRA helps create welcoming spaces where people feel supported without judgment or pressure.

At the heart of TRA’s mission is a simple reminder: no one should have to “Carry it Alone.”
