Our journey at Ten Thirty Eight is ongoing, mirroring the journey of life itself—filled with trials, tribulations, victories, and successes one of continuous growth and evolution. While our roots are deeply connected to the law enforcement community, we recognize that the struggle for mental well-being is universal and the need for mental health support extends far beyond any single profession. Ten Thirty Eight is here to support military members, veterans, and anyone facing mental health challenges. We believe in the power of shared experience and the strength found in community, regardless of background. Our mission is to provide a safe haven and resources for anyone seeking mental, spiritual, and physical wellness. Like life, our journey at Ten Thirty Eight is a work in progress. It's an ongoing journey marked by the ups and downs we all experience.

"Never let a stumble or fall on the road end your journey".....

Hello my name is Douglas Phillips, and I am a retired law enforcement officer and a combat veteran—a title that carries both honor and scars. I served my country and my community for 28 years. Ten Thirty Eight was born from the ashes of unimaginable loss on a road stained with grief. On August 20, 2015, my world shattered when I learned my daughter, Jasmine, was killed in a vehicle accident.

For years, I was trained to run toward danger, to wear the badge and the uniform as an impenetrable shield. But what happens when the fight is internal? The trauma we witness—in the line of duty or on the battlefield—doesn't just fade. It follows us home, and for too many of our brothers and sisters, that darkness becomes overwhelming.

The hardest thing I ever had to do wasn't on patrol; it was raising my hand and saying, 'I am not okay.' Today, my mission is simple: we must dismantle the culture of silence that tells us asking for help is a sign of weakness. It is a sign of strength, and it is an act of survival.

Ten Thirty Eight was born from the ashes of unimaginable loss on a road stained with grief. On August 20, 2015, my world shattered when I learned my daughter, Jasmine, was killed in a vehicle accident. We know the signs in the field—we look out for our partners. We must do the same for our personal lives. We need to be as relentless in protecting each other's mental health as we are in protecting our communities. Remember: Your service didn't end when you took off the uniform. Now, your mission is to be your own lifeline, and a lifeline for others. Let's talk, let's connect, and let's choose to survive, together.
