“Never doubt that a small group of  thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” ~Margaret Mead

Our collaborative partners provide mental health support with a FOCUS on first responders, families & the community. 2021 – 2022

Some of our initiatives where we seek funding sponsors:

• Sponsor the police department or EMT unit in your community to receive a film screening, awareness training & mental health tools.
• Sponsor a community engagement roundtable where we provide training & tools to spouses & families of first responders.
• Sponsor a college or university film screening where the local police are invited to engage in conversation that prepares criminal justice students for the mental health challenges in law enforcement careers.
• Sponsor a high school or college student community outreach program where we cultivate positive relationships supporting mental health of all first responders with our CARING CARDS Campaign.
• Purchase a bulk supply of Postcards From Home™ for your employees, customers & vendors as a donation to Heroes and Families United.
• Contribute to the production of our next film which features FAMILIES of First Responders.
• Establish a strategic partnership that strengthens the infrastructure & expansion of Heroes and Families United.

A unique element of our mental health program is a postcard campaign that establishes Miles & Miles of Peace & Smiles™ In Just a Mail Moment™ throughout the first responder community.  From 2020 to 2021 Triangle Manufacturing Company funded the distribution of over 10,000 Postcards From Home™.

“Thank you for the ‘Postcards from Hope’, very uplifting and heartfelt gesture. This is the type of outreach can lift your spirits. A very delightful surprise to find these in the mailbox unexpectedly.”

Did you know that the VA Office of Research and Development is sponsoring a clinical trial on the use of CARING CARDS to prevent suicide? (2021 – 2022)

Did you know that Stanford University Suggests: Caring Letters Help Prevent Suicide?

Did you know that studies as early as the 1960’s show positive results when our service members receive caring letters?

Many of us do remember stories from family members who served in WWII and how valuable sending and receiving cards & letters were.  I remember my Dad and Oma mailed letters almost everyday across the ocean from the USA to Europe.

Even in our current day where text and calls and zoom is available these letters and cards are still so valued.  I remember when my son was in boot camp which is a time where no text, calls or zooms are allowed we still exchanged letters and value those treasures.  When my son was stationed in Afghanistan, I often sent Postcards From Home™ with the intention that the soldier sorting the mail would also receive a momentary feel good smile upon seeing the bright colorful and meaningful message.

How might we expand the mailing of postcards out to our first responders & front-line heroes?
