National Suicide Prevention Week
A time when conversations around mental health and prevention are more vital than ever as always.
The Forcer Protocol was created to prevent tragedies like the one that inspired its inception — the loss of Our Lance Corporal Alan Forcer, a British Army veteran who died by suicide after being reported as missing in 2020. A Story not unique to Alan as we know ….
What began as a personal mission has since evolved into a national safeguarding tool, now adopted by multiple UK police forces and connected agencies.
The protocol provides police with rapid, secure access to essential information about at-risk veterans when they are reported missing — details like medical history, known triggers, safe spaces, and contacts. This enables faster, more informed responses with professional referrals implemented Unique to Military Mental health.
Honoured to receive This award from Akshata Murty for my role as Founder of the Forcer Protocol—
To be publicly acknowledged for this work—not just as a founder but as someone contributing to tangible social impact—is profoundly humbling.
Thank you, Akshata, for your support and for shining a light with compassion. Together here we were making strides toward ensuring every veteran’s story—and safety—truly matters and raising vital awareness on this Subject matter that is all to often dismissed……X
