Face The Fight

We’re here to help carry the weight for our veterans. At Face The Fight, we are deeply committed to ensuring service members, veterans, their families, caregivers, and survivors feel the strength of a compassionate community behind them. A heartfelt thank you to USAA, Lockheed Martin, Fox Corporation, and NBCUniversal for their outstanding support in raising awareness of veteran suicide prevention through our impactful PSA campaign. #VeteranSupport #SuicidePrevention #FaceTheFight

“We have this ethic [in the military] that we leave no one behind,” Patrick J. Murphy, honorary committee chair of Face the Fight, told FOX 5 DC. “We left too many of our brothers and sisters behind, especially when it comes to mental health.” Face the Fight is committed to reducing veteran suicide and breaking the stigma around getting help.

It’s a common myth that there’s nothing that can be done for someone who experiences chronic suicidality. But I want people to know that’s just not true - at least it’s not true anymore. The results from our interventions at Stop Soldier Suicide should give them a reason to feel hope. With 73% of our veterans experiencing a decrease in suicidal cognition after working with us, we’re proving that chronic suicidality is treatable. Through targeted, evidence-based interventions - carefully chosen methods proven by research - we give veterans the tools to regain control over their lives and improve their mental health long-term. Our approach centers on three core interventions: Crisis Response Planning, CAMS (Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality), and BCBT-SP (Brief Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Suicide Prevention). Crisis Response Planning equips 100% of our high and moderate-risk clients with personalized plans to recognize triggers and develop safety strategies in response to these triggers. These individualized plans help our clients face high-risk moments with strength and preparedness. CAMS and BCBT-SP both use cognitive behavioral techniques to help veterans identify and reframe harmful thought patterns. Through these methods, veterans draw on their own reservoirs of strength to build up even more resilience in the face of challenging situations and use effective coping skills instead of falling into hopelessness. Imagine a world where veterans no longer face chronic suicidality alone - a world where they have tools, support, and renewed confidence to reclaim their lives. With each life we change, we move closer to this reality, showing veterans that a fulfilling future is within reach. At Stop Soldier Suicide, we’re redefining what it means to support veterans in their most challenging battles. Every service member deserves effective, proven solutions - and we’re here to provide them. #veteransuicide #suicideprevention #crisisresponse

Thank you, Bexar County, for celebrating Veterans Day by recognizing?Face The Fight?and the collective mission of?USAA,?Reach Resilience, and Humana Foundation,?and our coalition of 200+ strong to end veteran suicide and advance awareness and support for our military community. My favorite line of the proclamation declared today: “It is the collective duty of Texans to honor the sacrifices made by our veterans and ensure they receive the support they need.”

What an honor to interview Vets4Warriors Mark Graham Frank Ghinassi about Face The Fight awarding a $1 MIllion grant to help boost veterans’ crisis intervention program. A reminder that there are so many veterans who are fighting an invisible war, off the battlefields. Full link to story below ?? https://lnkd.in/e7tzwmDM

On this Veterans Day, we are honored to present the Onward Ops 2024 Impact Report. With a growing network, rising enrollments, and proven success, we’re making a real impact in the lives of our nation’s newest veterans. From screening 15,500+ service members for suicide risk to connecting them with supportive communities, we’re proving that a successful transition is possible. Most importantly, we’re showing that veterans aren’t broken—they’re extraordinary individuals ready to continue contributing to our country. With your support, we will help every veteran as they transition to civilian life. ???? #OnwardOps #FacetheFight #VeteranSupport #Veterans #TransitionStrong Face The Fight Onward Ops Arizona Coalition for Military Families Bexar County Department of Military and Veterans Services Clear Path for Veterans New England Compeer Rochester Easterseals Redwood Endeavors The Hudson Valley National Center for Veteran Reintegration Indy Warrior Partnership King County, WA Lacey Veterans Services Hub Mt.
