About Red Star Foundation

On average, 22 veterans die by suicide every day. Which is more than 8,000 deaths each year. That is 8,000 too many! That doesn’t include the 500 first responders that also die by suicide each year. Leaving behind a pain and void in millions of loved ones.

The Red Star Foundation is a nationwide community of people and resources that are focused on supporting and meeting the needs of the survivors of veterans and first responder suicides.

Providing honor and support to the families and friends of our veterans, which include active military and first responders, who have lost a loved one to suicide. Red Star will establish programs, resources and services to include education, training, suicide awareness and prevention, bereavement and grief support, and peer-to-peer networking. Red Star Foundation will have local chapters throughout the United States.

Red Star Voices

THE POWER OF A STORY

Surviving family and friends share their stories, their heart and their grief about losing a loved one. Throughout these stories, families reflect on their approaches to grief and the healing process, while also acknowledging the importance of community and culture. Their insights show that, through resilience and support, suicide loss survivors can find understanding, meaning, and even joy in their lives while continuing to honor the lives of those they have lost.
