One Tribe Foundation

Mission Statement: To grow our community that raises awareness and combats suicide by empowering Veterans, First Responders, Law Enforcement Officers and their families through traditional and non-traditional therapies.

Our Purpose: Restore the value of life by empowering Veterans, first responders, law enforcement officers and their families.

Prevention begins with awareness. This means educating ourselves and the general public, opening up the conversation, and learning to become comfortable with the uncomfortability of being vulnerable. By doing this, we can identify the often avoided or unaddressed issues that can lead someone to thoughts of suicide, and confront those issues as they come, rather than letting them accumulate into something much worse.

The next step is empowerment. One of the biggest challenges Veterans and first responders face is finding a sense of purpose after service. One Tribe Foundation has built a vast network of organizations and resources across the country, and whether through its own programs, or through external sources, veterans, first responders, and family members can find services for mental wellness and empowerment programs to help them find or rediscover that sense of purpose. The other side of this is engagement. Often times, one may come to realize that all they really needed was the brotherhood and camaraderie that may have been absent from their lives since leaving service. The TR1BE allows service members to connect with like-minded individuals and gives them the opportunity to get involved with community events and projects, and be a part of something great.
