Data and Research Upstream Suicide Prevention
Theory of Change.
If communities build culturally aligned, Veteran & First Responder-led, upstream prevention systems that restore mission, identity, belonging, purpose, and physiological regulation, while offering pathways into clinical care, then Veteran & First Responder suicide can be prevented at the population level, including among those not engaged in mental-health services.
About Us
22Mohawks Corp is a veteran-founded nonprofit dedicated to preventing suicide among veterans and first responders through upstream, culturally aligned prevention. We focus on restoring purpose, identity, belonging, and resilience before crisis occurs.
Our programs combine peer connection, physical challenge, companion dogs, and long-term support systems proven to reduce suicide risk, even among those not engaged in traditional mental health care. Built by those who have served, 22Mohawks meets veterans and first responders where they are and walks alongside them as they rediscover meaning, strength, and hope.
