Beth KramerBeth Kramer is the Executive Director for At Ease USA, a Nebraska-based nonprofit working to ensure that no service member, veteran, or frontline healthcare worker has to face trauma alone. Beth has served in this role since 2010 and has a personal commitment to serving those who serve us.
At Ease was founded in 2009, and is dedicated to providing confidential, trauma-informed care to military personnel, veterans, and their families—especially those living with post-traumatic stress, moral injury, or suicidal ideations.
As demand for services continues to grow—up 400% over the past two years—AEU responds with a coordinated model of care that includes:
- Evidence-based mental health therapy through a network of 54 licensed providers
- Peer support, including the Vets4Vets initiative and services for incarcerated veterans
- Wellness programs such as trauma-informed yoga, equine-assisted therapy, and the Camp
- Recharge family retreat
- AEU has recently expanded its services in Lancaster County, adding a program coordinator and services to meet the growing need among the city’s veterans and National Guard families.
Nearly all of AEU’s growth has come through word-of-mouth from clients who have experienced the power of healing, connection, and hope. At Ease continues to build trust and make compassionate care accessible—regardless of a person’s ability to pay.
