Our Vision & Mission
Our vision is to heal the invisible wounds of military veterans and return them to an improved state of health and wellness.
The mission of 22 Saves Hockey Foundation is to save lives. How we do this is by engaging veterans in health and wellness activities, primarily through recreation, and we use it as a therapeutic mechanism to address various mental health ailments that veterans may be experiencing. These recreation based activities add to protective factors against suicide by returning veterans to a team environment, a community, that provides camaraderie with others with whom they have shared experiences.
Our goal is to respond effectively to the increasing epidemic of suicides among military veterans and reduce the number of suicides – 1 Goal. 22 Saves. To reach this goal, 22 Saves Hockey will:
- Increase public awareness of the statistically significant rate of suicides among military veterans
- Contribute to community prevention and outreach efforts targeting military families as a vulnerable group through suicide prevention education programs
- Offer workshops to educate veterans on stress management strategies
- Provide additional social supports for veterans by returning them to a team environment
