Partners in PROMISE

Please join us in welcoming Dr. Alicia Berngman to the Partners in PROMISE team! 💜

Alicia serves in the Navy's SAIL su***de prevention program and owns a private counseling practice focused on supporting neurodiverse individuals and their families. She also brings a strong commitment to serving military families through advocacy, mentorship, and community support.

As a military spouse and dedicated advocate, Alicia understands the unique challenges military families face and is passionate about helping parents navigate the special education journey.

We are excited to have Alicia join our team as we continue empowering military families and advancing educational opportunities for children with special needs.

Just reminiscing about the fantastic time we had at PROMISE 2026 in February!

💜If you attended, what was your favorite part?

You Lost Hours. Here's How to Make Them Count.

💜If your respite care changed, say so. Make it count. Take the survey: https://bit.ly/PiPRespiteCareSurvey

You already know what changed. You adjusted, quietly, the way caregivers always do. But adjusting in silence is exactly how this keeps happening. No one is asking what it cost you, so right now it costs you nothing on paper.

That changes the moment you fill out this survey.
The people who write these policies work off numbers. Hours allotted, levels assigned, boxes checked. They do not have the appointment you missed, the week you ran on no sleep, the help that is just gone.

Partners in PROMISE is collecting exactly that, and turning it into the evidence advocates carry into the rooms where these decisions get made. One survey is a data point. Hundreds are a case they cannot ignore.

You already did the hard part. You lived it. This part takes a few minutes.
