The Story

Our team started this foundation knowing firsthand what our participants go through
Founded by Marshall Spring, a combat disabled Marine Corps veteran, our commitment to our mission of providing effective and evidence-based suicide prevention runs deep. Our services are not just effective; they are lifelines in the battle against veteran suicide.

We firmly believe that those who courageously risk their lives for their community embody the highest compassion. Yet, these brave souls sometimes suffer deep wounds while ensuring our safety. Our mission is driven by a profound dedication to helping these heroes heal their unseen scars, reclaim their lives, and rediscover a sense of belonging once more in society.


At CRF, we hold a steadfast belief in the inherent value of every life—a belief that fuels our unwavering commitment to fighting for each and every individual. Join us in our mission to forge a community that offers unwavering support and genuine connection. Together, let's stand as a beacon of hope, ensuring that no one faces their battles alone.
