“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

Police Training — The Compassion Course Online
De-escalation for Police. A professional training for police and first responders
First responder, active-duty military & veteran mental health is a priority. Families of first responders, active-duty military & veterans are a priority. Communities who depend on these heroes are a priority. We offer an integrated community service that includes film screenings, training, consultation & Table Talk Tools™ that make the tough conversations easier, more sustainable & improve mental health for all of us.
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™.
Sponsorship donations can be made directly to our non-profit fiscal responsibility partner:
“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 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?

“I am so glad you sent these amazing postcards to us! I completely agree this is something that we can do to help lift the spirits of our officers!”
