FOCUS Week: Behind the Scenes
Monday & Tuesday revolve around taking a look at where they’ve been and where they are now. World-class instructors, Team Leaders and Mentors guide participants through thought processes relating to comfort zones, belief systems, and victim mindsets.

“What happens at FOCUS?”
We’re giving you the chance to get an inside look at what happens before, during & after FOCUS Courses. Find out how veterans find our program, how they get here, what they learn, what they do, and what happens when they go back home.

Stay Tuned!

During each FOCUS Course, participants spend their Thursday afternoon fishing. It serves as a tremendous reset in thinking...shifting their focus from the past to the future. Learn more at https://t.co/hG7sZArn9u

It's amazing how your perspective can change when you get to spend time with others who "get it"...
FOCUS Marines Foundation allows those connections to happen.

A vital part of the FOCUS Course curriculum is the development of a SMART Goal.

We challenge you to create your own SMART Goal for the week!
Make it specific, measurable, achievable, a bit risky/challenging and time- sensitive.

And....GO!

We're enjoying looking back on the past 10 years of FOCUS.
Today, however, we're asking you to pick up that phone. If you're struggling, make that call for help. If you're doing well, call someone just to check in. You never know what that phone call might mean.

A Service Dog has the ability to change a Veteran's life completely. Pups who attend FOCUS with their Veterans become part of the class. Doubt they get tired of all the attention either. Who can resist a face like this?

FOCUS Marines Foundation has made the difficult -but necessary- decision to cancel the May FOCUS Course.

The next FOCUS Course will be held in September. FOCUS will continue to engage both incoming participants and our FOCUS Graduates.

Stay tuned for program updates!

And here's how it all started -- March 2010.
11 years...over a thousand lives changed.

FOCUS Graduates know exactly who these ladies are ... fondly known as The Brisket Ladies. We are blessed to have more than 100 volunteers who dedicate their time during FOCUS Courses and in the months we spend getting ready for upcoming classes. We can't do it without you!

Self-reflection is a vital part of the FOCUS Course. Beautiful New Mexico/Arizona mountain ranges make the process just a bit easier.

The FOCUS Course presented to our Navajo veterans in October 2019 was truly life-changing for all involved.
