Season 3, Episode 11: QRFup Organization

What happens when the people trained to save others are the ones who need saving?In this powerful episode of the 8158 Podcast: Stories of Sacrifice, Rico sits down with Rick Ramsay, co-founder of QRF (Quick Reactionary Force)—a groundbreaking mobile app created specifically to help veterans and first responders in crisis.After losing brothers to suicide during his time serving in the U.S. Marine Corps and U.S. Army, Rick made it his mission to build a solution that works differently than traditional systems. The QRF app connects users instantly with a licensed therapist and a peer-to-peer rapid response team who understand the unique challenges faced by those who serve.With one simple press of a red SOS button, the app can trigger a call, text, and GPS location to get help moving immediately—whether that means talking to a therapist or having someone physically respond in person.Rick shares the heartbreaking reality behind veteran and first responder suicide, the stigma surrounding mental health in these professions, and how peer support, compassion, and rapid response can save lives.If you or someone you know serves or has served, this is a conversation that matters.Because sometimes the strongest people are the ones fighting the hardest battles.Download the QRF App today and help spread the word.Learn More About QRF🌐 Websitehttps://qrfup.org📱 Download the AppAvailable on Apple App Store, Google Play, and Amazon📱 Social MediaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/qrfupFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/qrfupLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/qrfup💙 Support the mission:Donate to the William H. “Bill” Butler Jr. Foundation:🔗 https://www.8158podcast.com/donatepodcast-1🌐 Website:🔗 https://www.8158podcast.com🎙 Want to be a guest?Schedule an interview here:🔗 https://www.8158podcast.com/appointments-4📢 Join our community & get exclusive content:🔗 http://Patreon.com/8158podcast
