Project R.E.D. Team

Veterans comprise more than 22% of all suicides in the United States. More than 22 veterans and active duty service members complete suicide each day on average in the United States.

Project R.E.D. Team is focused on mental health challenges for those who commit their lives to the safety and health of the community. It is Hope For The Day's mental health education and outreach programming variant designed by peers from the military, first responders, law enforcement, health and their families.

R.E.D. is an acronym HFTD has appropriated to stand for: Reminding Everyone Deployed…IT’S OK NOT TO BE OK.

"When we say deployed we were inspired by founding member Ryan Shannon’s assertion that anyone who makes a commitment to put their life on the line to support the safety and health of the community is in a form of deployment. By empowering peers from these communities, the conversations can have a deeper impact on unique contributing factors military/first responder communities and their families are managing."
