Objective Zero Foundation

We call it a Bad Day Plan instead of a "crisis response plan" for a reason: it should not feel clinical or scary. It should feel like something you build for yourself, on your terms.

In the Objective Zero App, you can map out your warning signs, your people, and what actually helps you get through a hard day, before you are in one.

Having a plan is not a sign that something is wrong. It is a sign you are taking care of yourself.

Today's challenge is simple: reach out to a service member, veteran, or their spouse or caregiver in your life.
Not a generic " thanks for your service," but a real message. "Thinking about you. How are you really doing?"

You do not need special training to connect. You just need to ask, and mean it.

If you are an Objective Zero Pathfinder, reach out to a peer on the app you haven't connected with recently and check in!

We started Objective Zero because too many veterans wait until things are unbearable before they reach out, if they reach out at all.

Our vision is what we call Functional Zero: real support in place before a hard day turns into a crisis and someone's service is not a risk factor.

That looks like peer connection, tools in your pocket, and a community that shows up early, not just in an emergency.

The app is free and ready when you are.

September is National Su***de Prevention Awareness Month. For us, this is not a one-month campaign, it's our mission 24/7/365.

This month, we are sharing the tools, people, and stories behind Objective Zero and how we are working toward a future where no service member, veteran, spouse, family member, or caregiver faces a hard day alone.

First step: download the Objective Zero App. It is free, built by people who understand military life, and there when you need it.

We honor and remember the life of Chief Warrant Officer 2 Deontre T. Huey and Warrant Officer Seth L. Olmstead, who tragically died on August 12th when an Apache helicopter crashed outside of Fort Hood. Our hearts are with their family, friends, and fellow service members, today and always.

If you have lost a military or veteran loved one and need support, please reach out to TAPS at 800-959-TAPS (8277). We are here for you.

Most veterans who reach a crisis point never say anything beforehand.

That's exactly why conversations about secure storage can't wait for an invitation.

Join STRONG STAR Training Initiative for a free, virtual workshop to teach you how to start one with confidence.

Face The Fight Night at the Grand Ole Opry is back.

On September 9, the Opry hosts the third annual Face The Fight Night, an evening where a night of music becomes something bigger: a stand against veteran su***de.

We're grateful to the Opry and Humana for their continued commitment to this mission and for helping make this special night possible.
