Amber Cage

Military Peer Support Specialist

As a prior service member of the US Navy, a former substance abuse counselor, a suicide prevention coordinator, and someone who has personally battled with mental health, I have a profound understanding of the struggles faced by individuals in their darkest moments. It is this intimate understanding that fuels my drive to work at a suicide prevention, crisis-focused nonprofit.

There was a time in my life when the weight of depression and suicidal thoughts consumed me. But, thanks to the profound impact of a listening ear and someone who recognized the signs, I am still here today.

In that crucial moment, I realized the immense power of human connection, understanding, and support.

This experience has forever changed me. It ignited a fire within me to pay it forward. Here Tomorrow allows me to combine my military background, counseling skills, and personal experiences to create a positive impact on the lives of those who also may be teetering on the edge of despair. I want to be a beacon of hope, reminding individuals that they are not alone and that there is help available.

By dedicating myself to this cause, I hope to contribute to a world where mental health is prioritized, where stigma is shattered, and where every person in crisis receives the support they deserve. Together, we can save lives and create a future where no one has to suffer in silence.
