Here Tomorrow, a Jacksonville mental health and suicide prevention nonprofit, held its 5th Anniversary Gala on March 21. The gala celebrated hope, connection and lives changed through their immediate mental health support.
Here Tomorrow offers support with no cost, no wait and no judgment through their peer-led model. Individuals are connected to trained certified recovery peer specialists who provide support and guidance through a difficult time in their lives. Here Tomorrow is dedicated to removing barriers that prevent people from seeking help and offers ongoing peer support for up to one year.
Here Tomorrow’s 5th Anniversary Gala was hosted at TPC Sawgrass. There was a delicious dinner, stories of resilience and recovery and a live auction. More than $400,000 in funds were raised during the gala to directly support Here Tomorrow’s mental health services and help expand access to care across Northeast Florida and beyond.
The gala honored the supporters, peers, partners and friends who help make Here Tomorrow possible every day. Here Tomorrow’s board members Neptune Beach Mayor Cori Bylund; Atlantic Beach Mayor Curtis Ford; board member, former Neptune Beach Mayor and former Jacksonville City Council representative Elaine Brown; and Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence attended the gala and helped make the evening memorable.
Here Tomorrow also recently launched their new podcast, “Clearing the MindField.” The podcast is hosted by Brannon Hicks, who is a retired law enforcement officer. Hicks was recruited to start Here Tomorrow’s military and first responder program four years ago. The podcast’s guests are men and women who have served and share their experience with mental health struggles.
“‘Clearing the MindField’ seeks to destigmatize the conversation around mental health for active duty and veteran military and first responders, and to inspire listeners to begin or strengthen their journey into wellness,” said Hicks.
Each episode shares their story and how they overcame their struggles with strength and resilience.
“Our personnel are ready to jump down into the hole with those still struggling and show them the way out. No one gets left behind,” said Hicks.
Listeners can tune into the podcast on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, iHeart Radio and Deezer.
