Operation Phoenix HOW FOUNDATION SEPTEMBER 2021 - SEPTEMBER 2023

Operation Phoenix is a collaboration between the Help Our Wounded (HOW) Foundation and the Grey Team, to help veterans regain their physical and mental health by restoring brain, body and psyche through cutting edge technology and social support networks. Despite some veterans having suicidal ideation prior to enrolling in the program, Operation Phoenix has not lost one veteran to suicide (nor have there been any attempts). All veterans who have completed the program so far report feeling better connected to the community, adopting better habits, and have shown significant improvement in their cognitive functioning and emotional well-being.

PERIOD. GIVT JUNE 2020 - JUNE 2022

Project PERIOD. is a movement to end period poverty in Palm Beach County schools. In southern Palm Beach County, over 28,000 students in Title 1 schools are living at or below the poverty threshold. Feminine hygiene products are not eligible to purchase with government assistance programs often resulting in young women missing school during menstruation. Supplying school nurses with PERIOD. bags for students removes this barrier and contributes to improved self-worth and academic success. This program directly connects students with licensed healthcare providers, on a regular basis, who are equipped to offer additional resources, services, and information. Additional results from this program will become available following the publication of this report.
