The mission of Strength to Strength is to bring victims of terrorism together globally in order to share their experiences through peer to peer support and move forward with their lives despite the trauma they have been through. Few understand how a single terror attack can affect so many families on such a deep level physically, emotionally, financially and spiritually. We have taken it as our motto survivors healing survivors, recognizing that we are all responsible for each other and that those directly impacted by terrorism by injury or the loss of a loved one deserve no less than our very best.
