Unorthodox Therapy Stands in Solidarity with Families Behind the Badge While Honoring the Resilience of Highway Patrol Officer Andy Chan
Philadelphia, PA — Unorthodox Therapy Inc. (UTInc.) recently joined leaders and community members from across city, state, and federal levels to honor Andy Chan, a highway patrol officer who was critically injured in the line of duty and has continued to fight, heal, and persevere six years after the incident.
The gathering served not only as a moment of recognition for Officer Chan’s resilience, but also as a powerful reminder of the families who stand behind those who serve in civil and public safety roles. Spouses, children, and loved ones often carry unseen burdens when tragedy strikes, whether through injury, loss, or long term recovery.
UTInc. was honored to stand alongside organizations such as Families Behind the Badge, whose mission centers on supporting families who have lost a loved one or whose lives have been permanently changed due to service related injury. These families navigate grief, trauma, and ongoing emotional challenges that extend far beyond the initial incident.
“As a nonprofit rooted in mental health and community care, we believe it is essential to support not only the individuals who serve, but also the families who carry that service at home,” shared Monychann (Mo) McCarty, founder of Unorthodox Therapy Inc. “Being surrounded by leaders from every level of government reinforced how important this work is and how deeply it matters.”
The event brought together a diverse group of public safety leaders, elected officials, advocates, and community partners, all united by a shared commitment to honor sacrifice, provide support, and ensure families are not forgotten after headlines fade.
For UTInc., participating in moments like these aligns with its broader mission to support mental and emotional well-being across communities. Families impacted by line of duty injuries or loss often face long term stress, grief, and isolation. Acknowledging their experience and standing in solidarity is a critical step toward healing.
Unorthodox Therapy remains committed to partnering with organizations that serve families behind the badge and to advocating for mental health support that extends to those who quietly shoulder the weight of public service.
