About Us

Mount Warrior is a family-owned lifestyle brand aiming to raise awareness of the ongoing issue of veteran suicide through product sales and events. After losing multiple veteran friends to suicide, we decided to do some digging on the mental health crisis among the veteran community. It didn’t take much digging to find some very unsettling studies. A study done in 2022 by The American Warrior Partnership, Duke University, and the University of Alabama came to our attention. The study concluded there is an estimated 44 veteran suicides a day, conflicting the previous estimate of 17 veteran suicides a day. According to the Department of Veterans Affairs’ National Veteran Suicide Prevention Annual Report (2019), veterans account for 13.5% of all suicide deaths in the United States despite only making up 7.9% of the U.S. population. 

These statistics provide overwhelming evidence of a nationwide issue that our veterans face each day and will continue to face in the future. We decided that something needed to be done and began brainstorming ideas of what we can do to help. 

We quickly acknowledged something needs to be done about this crisis taking place among the people protecting our country, standing up when the call comes to protect you, your families, and your friends. We began researching nonprofits and organizations that actively work to reduce the number of veteran suicides. Through this research we came across an organization that provides “consistent, confidential, suicide-specific care that saves lives,” named Stop Soldier Suicide. Simple donations from just us wasn’t enough to satisfy us, this is where Mount Warrior was born. A way to be able to make continuous donations to Stop Soldier Suicide and provide people with a product/experience that raises awareness of the ongoing nationwide issue today. Here at Mount Warrior we are proud to say 25% of all profits are donated to Stop Soldier Suicide who works to reduce service member and veteran suicide using “enhanced data insights, focused client acquisitions, and suicide-specific intervention services.” 

We are consistently looking for more ways to help with this ongoing nationwide issue. Every one of the 44 suicides a day are preventable deaths and we aim to bring these numbers down. Join us in helping spread the word of this crisis and help these veterans find the sense of belonging they deserve by purchasing any of our products or attending any of our events.
