Our story

Named for Jordyn. Built for the people who serve.

Dr. Arielle N. Jordan served in the U.S. Army from 2008 to 2017. In 2014, while still in uniform, she lost her daughter, Jordyn Da'Yana. She knows what it's like to carry grief and trauma while still being expected to show up and do the job.

The Jordyn Effect carries Jordyn's name forward by making sure veterans and military families can get real, structured help, from people who understand military life.

Grief changed her. This is what she built with it.

Where your gift goes

Every gift pays for an appointment, a copay, or a training.

Mission REDEFINE

Structured EMDR trauma recovery groups and events that put mental wellness and suicide prevention tools directly in veterans' hands. Members work through what they carry alongside people who get it.

Care without the cost barrier

Help with appointments and copays for veterans and family members, so the price of care isn't the reason someone goes without it.

Retreat scholarships

Scholarships that open the door to time away for healing, reflection, and reconnection.

Training the people who help

Training for clinicians who serve military families, so more veterans find a therapist who understands military culture, moral injury, and grief.

Give

Fuel the next group, the next appointment, the next veteran.

Give once or monthly. Monthly gifts let us plan groups ahead of time.
