Success Story: Survivor Outreach Services (SOS) program

Program Overview:
The United States Army Reserve launched a program aimed at providing comprehensive support to the Families of Fallen Soldiers. The Survivor Outreach Services (SOS) Program is designed to honor the military's commitment to the Soldier by ensuring their families remain connected with their respective branch and the community-at-large.

DoverManagement Response:
The DoverStaffing team understands the unique needs and sensitivities required to assist Families of Fallen Soldiers. As the project manager, Dover led a federal, multi-agency task force in a comprehensive approach providing families with grief and military benefits counseling, employment assistance as well as access to financial planning. Families also received access to legal assistance, web links to military resources and education about helpful community programs.

DoverManagement Results:
The DoverStaffing team assisted over 500 families through efforts of the SOS Program. Families shared that they felt more connected and supported by the Army Reserve and surrounding community, which was the primary goal of the program.
