Mission

The mission of the fire watch project, inc. Is to end veteran suicide in florida and across the united states by partnering with local and state governments, corporations, and other non-profit organizations to develop "ground up" community-led programs in their respective geographic areas. The cornerstone program is the watch stander program, which trains members of the community to recognize the signs of veterans in crisis and to direct them to the care and resources they need. The fire watch also collects veteran suicide data to track its effectiveness and inform the future growth of watch stander program. That data is available at www.thefirewatch.org.
