Experience

1. Director of Spiritual Resiliency & Programs Chaplain

   Warfighter Advance, Inc

   Aug 2016 — Present · DC, US

   In addition to serving as the lead Program Chaplain, Darrel is part of the founding, executive staff significantly contributing to organizational leadership in a variety of critical areas to include: creative design, branding, content management, donor relations and development, social media presence, grant solicitation, budgeting, etc. The ADVANCE™ is, at it’s core, a 7-day program that uses a variety of means to change the trajectory of the Warfighter’s (active duty or veteran) post-deployment life, so that rather than an existence characterized by an endless cycle of mental illness diagnoses, medications, medical appointments and disappointments, the Warfighter has a life characterized by pride, productivity, healthy relationships, continued service, and advocacy for the same outcomes for their fellow service members. ​Warfighters are asked to arrive with high expectations. By weeks end, Warfighters have learned that their outcome is their responsibility, however they are no longer bewildered as to how to achieve their desired outcome. They have the knowledge, tools, relationships and support necessary to move forward as war fighters (past or present), rather than patients.The ADVANCE 7-Day™ welcomes Warfighters who are struggling with what is typically known as “PTSD,” with or without a formal diagnosis. Other post-deployment “mental illness” labels or problems (anxiety, depression, adjustment disorder, anger, mTBI, to name a few) are also considered. All referrals are self-referrals. No paperwork documenting “mental illness” is required or accepted. The ADVANCE™ welcomes Warfighters who have been treated by traditional psychiatric methods, as well as war fighters who have been struggling on their own to reintegrate or deal with their operational traumas. We welcome Warfighters who are discouraged because nothing that has been offered to them has helped, as well as those who have self-medication or substance abuse problems.
