VETERANS DAY - REALITY CHECK

According to rand.org--a non-profit research organization that studies issues affecting public policy, including military, mental health, economics, education, and national security:

💔Male veterans die by su***de at a much higher rate than non-veteran men. (42.7 vs 29.6 per 100k)
💔Firearms are used in most veteran su***des — about 3 out of 4
💔Veterans struggling with mental health or addiction have double the su***de risk compared to veterans without those diagnoses
💔Su***de rates among male veterans are still rising, even in the last 1–2 years
💔Since 2001, over 120,000 veterans have died by su***de — more than war combat deaths in that same time

To address these trends, I Love You Bro Project su***de prevention programs offer veterans and active military personnel:

❤️‍🩹A Place to Take the Armor Off~
Our weekly support groups give veterans a space to set down the military mentality of “I’m good.” Here, honesty and vulnerability is power, and not weakness.

❤️‍🩹Peer-Led + Lived-Experience Support~
Many of the men in our groups are veterans themselves--specifically our West Jordan weekly support group, which is led by a veteran. No clinical pressure. No rank. No hierarchy. Just men helping ALL men!

❤️‍🩹Building Purpose + Mission After Service~
We help veterans rediscover meaning, identity, and mission beyond the uniform. The mission doesn’t end when the service does, it just evolves!

❤️‍🩹Healthy Outlets + Real Connection~
From Weekly support group meetings to service activities, workshops to barbecues, we make sure veterans have a consistent community of bros to lean on BEFORE a crisis comes to fruition.

Join us, Veteran bros!
We love you.

THE PROCESS OF GROWTH aka FAILING-FORWARD

"You live life forward, but you learn it backwards".
-Jaylen Hurts, QB Philadelphia Eagles

➖Starting with blame, shame, and guilt, where mistakes feel defining.

➖Then we move through reframing, perspective, and dialectic, seeing mistakes as part of being human and opportunities to learn.

➖Finally we reaching repair, resilience, empowerment, and wisdom, where screw-ups become lessons for strength, growth, and self-awareness.

This is a simple reminder that growth is NEVER about perfection, but absolutely about progress.

A NOT-SO-FUNNY REALITY

We tell men: “Open up. Be vulnerable. Reach out. Talk about it.”

But the moment a man says
“Hey… I’m actually not okay,”
the world hits him with:
“You’ll be fine. Toughen up.”

Mixed messages much?

📊Our data shows that the third most selected reason why men won't reach out for help when in a mental/emotional crisis is "Fear of it being used against me later/weaponized" (42%)

At The Love You Bro Project, we’re game-changers in creating a new narrative of open, vulnerable masculinity.

➖We sit with each other and are intentionally present.
➖We listen to feel, not to respond.
➖We don’t judge (we're not into that).
➖We're not gonna try and “fix” you (we're DEFINITELY not into that either)
➖We don’t tell you to get over it, but we'll go through it with you.

We simply offer shame-free, judgment-free spaces for men to begin practicing to REALLY open up.

Through that opening up, through that raw vulnerable sharing, we can build emotional connections that lead to sustainable hope.

10 WAYS TO BUILD A MORE THANKFUL LIFE

"When we're thankful for what we have, we end up having more.” – Oprah Winfrey

1. Start Each Day with a “Thank You Thought”:
Before you grab your phone, take 10 seconds to thank God, the universe, or life itself for one thing you have today.

2. Write a Weekly Gratitude Letter:
Pick one person each week and send them a short message thanking them for something they’ve done or taught you — even from years ago.

3. Slow Down and Notice the Small Stuff:
The warmth of coffee, your kid’s laugh, the quiet after work — these micro-moments build macro gratitude.

4. Replace Complaints with Thanks:
Each time you catch yourself complaining, follow it with one thing you’re thankful for. Train your brain to reframe.

5. Reflect on Where You’ve Come From:
Remember your past struggles and how far you’ve come. Thankfulness grows when you recognize your own resilience.

6. Practice Thankful Mindfulness:
Take a few minutes each day to breathe deeply, grounding yourself in what’s right instead of what’s missing.

7. Give Without Expecting Anything Back:
Acts of service — especially quiet ones — cultivate humility and remind you of life’s shared humanity.

8. Create a “Thankful Space”:
Designate a spot at home where you display reminders of gratitude — photos, quotes, tokens that ground your perspective.

9. Share Gratitude Out Loud in Brotherhood:
During a support group, family dinner, or car ride, speak what you’re thankful for. Gratitude grows when it’s spoken.

10. End Each Day with Reflection:
Before bed, name one challenge and one blessing from your day. It balances the real with the grateful.

If done so correctly and intentionally, Ed teaches that human beings have literally "breathed" themselves out of moments of anger, sadness, anxiety, temptation, and even su***de ideation.

WHAT GARBAGE THOUGHTS ARE YOU TAKING OUT TODAY?

Some thoughts belong in the trash.

“You’re not enough.”
“You don’t matter.”
“No one would care if you weren't around”

"You're not worth being helped or loved".

They ARE NOT truth.
They ARE NOT your identity.
They’re just old, tired LIES your mind has been recycling for wayyy too long.

So today, let's take out the freakin garbage.

✍🏽Write down the thought(s) that have been plaguing you
💥Crumble it up
🗑️Throw it in the garbage can
🔁REPEAT WHEN NEEDED

We do this every week in our support groups. We call those lies "jack @$$ thoughts".

The process works! Try it everyday for a week.

YOU ARE ALWAYS WORTH IT, BRO.
You do matter.
And we’re not letting those lies win anymore.

MEN'S MENTAL HEALTH VS THE HOLIDAYS

This picture gives "The Shining" vibes--the iconic movie scene when Jack takes an axe to the door and says "HERE'S JOHNNY"!

🪓JACK TORRANCE = THE HOLIDAYS

M A N Y men are just barely holding it together, and we're doing so…with a Cheeto-amount of strength.

🎭Pretending and acting like we're "thankful"
🎁Expectation and Comparing
🎄Family Dynamics and loneliness
💸Money Stress
😶‍🌫️Memories and Grief.and the list goes on and on.

Even the strongest of us can only hold onto so much pressure before something gives.

We don’t have to “Cheeto our way through it,” bros! We don’t have to "barely hold things together" alone.

At I Love You, Bro Project, you have free access to real support for this season.
✅ Weekly Support Groups — Come be with men who actually get it
✅ Mental Health Workshops — Tools for stress, grief, emotional regulation, and communication
✅ Social Connection Activities — Movie nights, food, service, laughter, real brotherhood

No judgement. No fixing. Just men showing up for each other.

You don’t have to do the holidays alone.

Join us.
