Grey Team's "Operation Phoenix" - Life-Saving Veteran Wellness Services
To solve one of our nation’s most pressing issues, US military veteran suicides, Grey Team has initiated “Operation Phoenix” effective 01 August 2020.
Grey Team’s History and Mission
Grey Team is a 501 (c)3 non-profit based in Boca Raton, Florida established in November of 2016 to help reduce and eliminate PTSD-related veteran suicides.
As suicide rates among returning US military veterans continue to rise, the statistics now show that it is now six times more dangerous for an American soldier to return home from war than it is for him/her to actively be engaged in combat with the enemies of our country.
Grey Team is the only privately funded program that is proven to facilitate and cultivate posttraumatic growth. It is through the generous donations of private citizens, as well as grants, that Grey Team continues to offer these therapeutic services to Veterans and active duty service members at no cost. Our goal is to help those most in need of healing by providing a place where they feel welcomed and safe so that they may restore health, peace, and happiness to their lives.

Written Testimonials
While serving in the Middle East, I suffered an injury, causing chronic pain to my lower back. I was prescribed pain pills and, upon returning to the United States, became depressed and unable to cope with life.
A soldier in my unit recommended Grey Team, and after being accepted into their program, I am completely off of all meds and have improved all aspects of my life.

Like all veterans, I have trouble sleeping and staying asleep. Maybe it's because of all the late-night missions or the nightmares I face when I close my eyes. I have tried to be moderately healthy, but it did improve my sleep. I would be lucky to get about two hours in.
After entering Grey Team's protocol, for the first time in 12 years I slept for 6.5 hours. To the makers of this thing, you changed my life for the better. Thank You!

I can attest to the changes in my life since participating in the no-cost Grey Team wellness program.

“The transition that Veterans face is more often than not, more difficult than they expect. Discovering or rediscovering a familiar community is key to starting or reinvigorating that transition. The holistic approach that Grey Team deploys takes care of the mind and the body while giving purpose.”
