About GY6

About GY6

We understand. We have been there. We are doing something about it. GY6 exists to keep first responders connected to private, stigma-free support built around the realities of the job.

100% free for first responders.Because every first responder has already paid the price.

Why GY6 Exists

The cost of silence is too high.

GY6 was founded after years of walking with first responders through trauma, cumulative stress, family strain, and suicide loss. The mission is direct: reduce first responder suicides with support that fits the realities of the job.

The Insight

They may not ask for help. They will watch something trusted.

Through frontline service in Connecticut, Chaplain John Revell saw the same barrier again and again: many first responders avoid formal support, but they will engage privately with short, credible video content from voices they trust.

The first responder reality

Irregular shifts, repeated trauma, stigma, and distrust of institutional systems make help hard to start.

Why traditional help stalls

Appointments, visibility, department involvement, and off-hour barriers can stop people before they engage.

Why GY6 works

Private short-form video feels familiar, credible, and available on a phone when someone is ready.

The Platform

Private support, built to be used.

The GY6 platform turns expert-led conference content, peer voices, practical tools, and confidential crisis resources into short-form support first responders can access free of charge.

Short-form videos

Quick, trusted videos from credible voices people will use.

Anytime access

Private access on any device, whenever the weight is heaviest.

Private & confidential

No shame. No sign-up wall. Just help when you need it.
