Mission and programs · 2025

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.

  • OUR PRIMARY VETERAN SUICIDE PREVENTION INNOVATION IS THE WATCH STANDER PROGRAM. IT WAS LAUNCHED IN MAY 2020 AND IS AN UPSTREAM, ON-LINE AND IN- PERSON, EARLY INTERVENTION NETWORK OF COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS TRAINED TO IDENTIFY RISK FACTORS OF VETERANS IN CRISIS AND TO DIRECT THOSE VETERANS TO THE RESOURCES THEY REQUIRE, INCLUDING THE 988, 211, AND 844-MYFLVET. MODELED AFTER CPR, OUR WATCH STANDER PROGRAM IS THE FIRST OF ITS KIND IN THE COUNTRY. IT IS FREE AND TAKES JUST 45 MINUTES. AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2025, WE HAVE TRAINED 10,653 WATCH STANDERS, WHO, TOGETHER, WILL REFER MORE THAN 12,700 VETERAN TO LIFE-SAVING SERVICES OVER THE NEXT 12 MONTHS. OUR GOAL IS TO HAVE A WATCH STANDER NETWORK OF 30,000 STRONG BY THE END OF 2030.

    Expenses $674,592

  • THE FIRE WATCH, ISF INC., AND LIVINGWORKS EDUCATION INC. WERE TOGETHER AWARDED A CONTRACT IN 2025 BY THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH TO PROVIDE ADVANCED VETERAN SUICIDE PREVENTION TRAINING TO COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENTS ACROSS THE STATE. FOUR IN-PERSON TRAINING SESSIONS WERE HELD FROM FEBRUARY THROUGH JUNE 2025.

    Expenses $148,718

  • THE FIRE WATCH COLLECTS VETERAN SUICIDE DATA EACH YEAR WHICH IT USES TO GUIDE THE GROWTH OF ITS WATCH STANDER NETWORK AND OTHER VETERAN SUICIDE PREVENTION PROGRAMS. DATA IS COLLECTED FOR EACH OF FLORIDA'S 67 COUNTIES, SORTABLE BY AGE, RACE, GENDER, AND MEANS OF DEATH. THIS DATA IS PRESENTED IN DASHBOARD FORM ON OUR WEBSITE. THIS ALLOWS OTHER VETERAN-SERVING ORGANIZATIONS ACROSS THE STATE, INCLUDING THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS' AFFAIRS (FDVA), TO USE THE DATA TO FOCUS THEIR SERVICES ON THOSE FLORIDA VETERANS MOST AT RISK.
