Memorial Day 2026 - The Families of the Fallen Program at Home Base

Memorial Day 2026 - The Families of the Fallen Program at Home Base25 May19 min

It's Memorial Day 2026 and wishing everyone a special and peaceful week. Home Base was built in 2008 to serve veterans, and it was immediately clear that taking care of the family was just as vital. Military families are like their own cohort, their own tribe. Yes, supporting one’s servicemember or veteran is in the blood of the military family, however supporting themselves is critical and often overlooked. It’s the priority of putting that oxygen mask on that cannot be overemphasized. In this Episode, we’ll explore this, featuring one of the participants of our Families of the Fallen (FOF) Intensive Clinical Program, Shanyce Beamsderfer who takes us along with her on an eye opening visit to the Elizabeth Stewart Gardner Museum. We'll have ICP Social Work Team Lead Clare Stupinksy take us deeper into the FOF history and key aspects of the program, and Chuck Clough, musician who leads our FOF group listening (and sometimes dancing) events.
