Our mission
Connection
before crisis.
To reach Veterans who have become disconnected from people, purpose, and community—and help them find a way back to belonging.
Put the mission into practiceOur approach.
FTN6k seeks to reduce Veteran suicide through human connection, evidence-informed primary prevention, education, advocacy, and coordinated community action.
Inspired by search-and-rescue coordination, we bring people and organizations together to notice disconnection, organize outreach, and make existing support easier to reach.
About the initiative.
Founded by Christopher “CJ” Allen, FTN6k launched January 1, 2026 and operates under Suicide-Safer Community, a South Carolina nonprofit.
A national volunteer and advisory structure is in development.
