PROJECT QRF – SUICIDE PREVENTION & COMMUNITY RESILIENCE SUMMIT
<p>Hosted by: Special Forces Foundation Audience: Green Berets, family members, Surviving families, behavioral health professionals trusted in the SOF community, command teams, and SFF partners</p>
<p> Purpose: To conduct an honest, operationally focused After Action Review (AAR) of suicides within the Green Beret community and to strengthen our collective capability to intervene, respond, recover, and rebuild.</p>
<p>1. WHY WE ARE GATHERING</p>
<p> The Special Forces community has endured a heartbreaking number of suicides in recent years. Each loss leaves deep impact—on teammates, families, detachments, and entire Groups. The purpose of this summit is not to assign blame nor reopen wounds, but to bring our community together for a clear-eyed, compassionate review of lessons learned. Project QRF exists for the same reason a battlefield QRF exists: When one of ours is overwhelmed, we move—fast—and we bring enough people, capability, and heart to turn the tide. This event is an extension of that mission.</p>
<p> 2. OBJECTIVES</p>
<p> Participants should expect to walk away with:</p>
<p>• Shared understanding of the patterns, warning signs, and risk factors unique to Green Berets and their families</p>
<p>• Myth-busting insights grounded in real-world experience, not antiquated lore</p>
<p> • Clear do’s and don’ts when responding to a teammate in crisis</p>
<p>• Practical tools and interventions proven effective within our demographic</p>
<p>• Space to process guilt, survivor’s burden, and unspoken questions</p>
<p> • A community roadmap for prevention, crisis response, and long-term follow-up</p>
<p> • Connections with others who have lived these moments—from surviving families to crisis responders to command teams</p>
