Our StoryIn 2019 two thought leaders came together to solve a quickly growing problem….Okaloosa County, and more-so, Northwest Florida, having one of the fastest growing AND HIGHEST youth suicide rates in the state. Together with a great team and a WHOLE lot of community support, they began solving that concern.

Our TransitionThe day finally came in late 2022/early 2023 when the board and the original founders knew the time was right. Bring Hope Now, Inc. became an official 501c3 charitable foundation in the fall of 2023.

Our FutureAs the new board of Bring Hope Now was established, the future plan which was always part of Ms. Brockman’s dream, is to provide a youth mental health treatment facility in Okaloosa County. Once this happens, our kids and their family members won’t have to go as far as Orlando or Jacksonville, FL for long term (3-4 months) treatment. In addition, any of our kids who are Baker Acted have to go to either Pensacola or Panama City. Sometimes a bed may not be immediately available and they must wait in an ER for up to a week to be transferred. These long journeys can be extremely difficult for working parents or those without adequate transportation.
BHN plans to grow their Military Hope on the Line program and also bring it to colleges in the area. Another very needed program is a Loss Survivor Program to support those who have lost a loved one by suicide and bring a team into a business, school or other location to help support those experiencing trauma to help prevent additional suicides. |
