Overwatch Project FORGE

The Overwatch Project is a United States-based non-profit organization dedicated to veteran suicide prevention. With a team of three employees, the organization focuses on innovative approaches to address this critical issue. The Overwatch Project offers a range of services, including suicide prevention trainings, conversation guides, and online outreach programs. These resources are designed to empower veterans with the skills and knowledge to recognize and intervene in situations where a fellow veteran may be at risk. The organization also works with non-profit networks, military family organizations, and other groups serving veterans to strengthen suicide prevention capacity within the veteran community. Leveraging successful strategies previously employed in addressing drunk driving, the organization aims to create a widespread awareness campaign similar to "Friends Don't Let Friends Drive Drunk" specifically tailored to veteran suicide prevention. This campaign focuses on addressing the sensitive topic of firearms and suicide, encouraging veterans to intervene and seek help when a friend is struggling.
