Chaplain | Founder, GY6 Initiative
The GY6 Initiative for First Responder Wellness was born in the tragic context of helping first responders process the horrific realities of suicide.
From 2014 to 2024, Chaplain John Revell helped first responders in Connecticut process the suicides of 15 fellow first responders…14 of those were in two adjoining counties. As a result, he committed the rest of his life to doing anything and everything he could to keep first responders out of the morgue from self-inflicted wounds and to spare their families the unimaginable horror of making funeral arrangements for their loved one.
