Learn About Health

Health is a fundamental human right, and there are many positive developments in global health that offer hope for a healthier and more equitable world. According to the World Health Organization, global life expectancy has increased by more than 20 years since 1950, and maternal and child mortality rates have declined significantly in many countries. There have also been major advances in medical research and technology, with new treatments and cures being developed for a range of diseases and conditions. In addition, there has been a growing recognition of the importance of preventative health, with many countries implementing public health campaigns and policies to promote healthy lifestyles and reduce the incidence of chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease. These positive trends indicate that progress is being made in improving global health outcomes, and that there is hope for a future where all people have access to the health care and support they need to thrive.

Project 2.0 Foundation

Project 2.0 Foundation

The Project 2.0 Foundation is committed to assisting veterans in their PTSD symptom management while enabling and training them for integration into the successful post-military life they desire. The Project 2.0 Foundation was formed in August 2019 after accidentally finding positive results in a group of Army special operations forces veterans who found they could better manage their PTSD symptoms by training for, and participating in, triathlons and other athletic events. With each other’s encouragement and support, their symptoms became more manageable with their focus on athletics, physical fitness, and proper nutrition as a mission, rather using recreational drugs and alcohol as a coping mechanism. Symptoms of depression decreased or were eliminated entirely. Once our veterans saw their personal success with PTSD symptom management, we heard a chorus of questions and requests for assistance in entrepreneurial opportunities and new (or continued) business education within the civilian world. With the consideration by members of the psychiatric field, we formed this foundation with the mission to bring our findings national and open our program to all veterans. We have gathered a group of psychologists, physical fitness trainers, licensed nutritionists and dieticians, and business leaders and founders in various industries to assist in our mission. The Project 2.0 Foundation program encompasses all aspects of post military life: mental, physical, and financial training and support. The objective for each member is to create a “NEW YOU 2.0” version of themselves, and to obtain the post-military life that they envision for themselves and their families.

SAN FRANCISCO SUICIDE PREVENTION INC

SAN FRANCISCO SUICIDE PREVENTION INC

San Francisco Suicide Prevention is the oldest community-based telephone crisis center in the United States. Founded in 1962 by a journalist from the British Broadcasting Corporation, the organization adopted a crisis management model developed by the Samaritans Centers in Great Britain and Europe. To this day the agency trains local volunteers who provide suicide prevention and crisis intervention services to callers. Over 500 other crisis centers across the United States now utilize the same concept. After the collapse of the State mental health system in California, San Francisco Suicide Prevention stepped forward to fill the demand created by insufficient community service funding. Over time, the agency’s workload grew to its current total number of volunteers trained since the agency began now tops 3,500, and the total number of calls answered exceeds 1,000,000. With a talented staff of 12 FTE, 150 volunteers, and an annual budget just over $1,000,000, San Francisco Suicide Prevention is one of the most cost-effective crisis care agencies in the country.
