Website: https://bluehelp.org/
Established: 2016

Mission Statement: "It is the mission of Blue H.E.L.P. to reduce mental health stigma through education, advocate for benefits for those suffering from post-traumatic stress, acknowledge the service and sacrifice of law enforcement officers we lost to suicide, support families after a suicide and to bring awareness to suicide and mental health issues."

Overview: Blue H.E.L.P., a nonprofit organization that collects law enforcement suicide data and supports families of officers who have died by suicide, began in 2016 after Karen Solomon and Jeffrey McGill, two of the organization's founders, wrote a book called, "The Price They Pay." Since January 1, 2016, Blue H.E.L.P. (BH) has been compiling a list of law enforcement officers lost to suicide; this information includes corrections and federal officers of all duty status. BH has information on officers dating back to 1979 and now has over 1,000 records of those deaths.

Core Services:

• Family Support: A suicide loss is unique, it can be difficult for families to share their experience with others who have not suffered the same type of loss. With the loss of thousands of law enforcement officers to suicide, we can put you in touch with another family who has experienced LEO suicide and knows what you are going through. No judgement, no stigma; just compassion and understanding.
• Honor Programs: Care packages which honor your loved ones are shipped to you and events customized to your needs are hosted for and by you
• Data Collection & Awareness: Comprehensive database of law enforcement suicides to bring attention to the crisis
• Education & Training: Programs designed to reduce mental health stigma in law enforcement

• #IWillListen Campaign: The campaign hopes to erase the stigma tied to mental health in law enforcement. "We wanted people to know not only are there resources available, but your fellow officers want you to talk to them," Solomon said.
• Honor Wall: Recognition and remembrance of officers lost to suicide
• First H.E.L.P.: First H.E.L.P seeks to change that by bringing together credible representatives from each first responder discipline to serve as a voice for those who work in the field and those families that stand behind them

Philosophy: "It's not how they died, it's how they lived" and "Suicide should be pursued as relentlessly as any other cop killer; together, publicly and, with unabating courage."
