Our Mission
At HOPE, our mission is to deliver unparalleled services that uplift individuals and their families as they navigate the complexities of military life.
The CopOp mission is to reduce the number of veteran and first responder suicide victims through early intervention. We intend to achieve this by providing our nation’s first responders and corporations with the ability to recognize transitional or Post Traumatic Stress, providing the knowledge of how to connect with the service members and the community resources to make referrals.
Together, our mission is to educate those in the community whose work touches the lives of veterans through a National Speaker and Training Series.
