FOCUS: FOCUS MARINES FOUNDATION CONDUCTS FOUR, MULTI-FACETED, SEVEN-DAY, TRANSFORMATIVE WORKSHOPS DURING THE YEAR THAT AID WOUNDED MARINES IN THEIR TRANSITION FROM BATTLEFIELD TO CIVILIAN LIFE. WHETHER ENDURING PHYSICAL WOUNDS OR THE EMOTIONAL WOUNDS OF PTS/TBI, MARINE PARTICIPANTS ARE GIVEN THE TOOLS TO HELP THEM REBUILD REWARDING AND MEANINGFUL LIVES. DURING THE WEEK AT FOCUS, PARTICIPANTS (APPROXIMATELY 28 PER CLASS) ATTEND AN INTENSE, INTROSPECTIVE THREE-DAY WORKSHOP TO UNDERSTAND AND PURGE NEGATIVE TENDENCIES AND TO ACCEPT AND SUCCESSFULLY ADJUST TO THE CHALLENGES OF CIVILIAN LIFE. THE COURSE INCLUDES A HOST OF SUPERB MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKERS THAT ENCOURAGE PARTICIPANTS TO RISE ABOVE ANY CHALLENGE, REJECT VICTIMIZATION, ADOPT POSITIVE HABITS, AND TO BE THE BEST THAT THEY CAN BE. THE COURSE FURTHER ALLOWS MARINES TO EXPLORE AND ENHANCE THEIR INTERPERSONAL SKILLS, ESPECIALLY AS IT RELATES TO THEIR FAMILY. THEY COME TO REALIZE THAT THEY ARE NOT ALONE IN THEIR CHALLENGES AND THAT THERE IS A VAST SUPPORTING NETWORK COMPOSED OF BROTHER MARINES, FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND A CONCERNED CITIZENRY. PARTICIPANTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO LEAVE THEIR COMFORT ZONE AND TO SET AND REALIZE THE GOALS TO WHICH THEY ASPIRE. DURING THE WEEK, PARTICIPANTS EXPERIENCE RENEWED HOPE AND DIRECTION, DEVELOP POSITIVE CHARACTERISTICS, EXPERIENCE ENHANCED SELF-WORTH, AND ARE COMMITTED TO THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILIES.


MENTORING: DURING EACH FOCUS PROGRAM, SELECT PARTICIPANTS FROM PREVIOUS COURSES ARE BROUGHT ON SITE TO MENTOR AND ENCOURAGE CURRENT PARTICIPANTS. AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE FOCUS COURSE, PARTICIPANTS ARE PAIRED WITH A MENTOR WHO PROVIDES CONTINUING, INDIVIDUALIZED SUPPORT. FOCUS ALSO REACHES OUT TO PAST PARTICIPANTS IN TIMES OF NEED TO ASSIST THEM IN THEIR JOURNEY FROM THE BATTLEFIELD TO CIVILIAN LIFE. THE MENTORING PROCESS IS A DYNAMIC, INTIMATE, AND IMPORTANT ELEMENT IN THE SUCCESS OF FOCUS.
