What The Resiliency Project & The Kevin Braney Group, LLC does

The Resiliency Project is a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 2020 by Nick Wilson, a former 13-year police officer and SWAT operator, to address PTSD, substance abuse, and suicide among first responders. Headquartered at 1901 E 4th St # 100, Santa Ana, CA, the organization operates as a fiscally sponsored project of OneOC (Tax ID 95-2021700) and provides free, confidential services nationwide through a website-based intake system, a distributed team of current and retired first responder peer supporters, and a vetted network of clinical providers.

The organization's core offerings include four program lines: 24/7 Peer Support, an Advocacy Program (with 30-day case review), Substance Abuse Support, and Intervention Services, supplemented by a Holistic Treatment Program spanning more than 20 modalities (EMDR, neurofeedback, equine therapy, CBT, DBT, 12-step facilitation, and others). Services are delivered at no cost to qualifying first responders (law enforcement, firefighters, EMS, corrections, dispatchers) and their spouses. The organization does not develop proprietary technology; its core capability is human-delivered peer support, clinical referral matching, and advocacy casework, augmented by strategic partnerships with Patriotic Service Dog Foundation, Bud's Odyssey Foundation, Bibles for LEO, and Sierra Education and Research Institute.

The business model is donation-funded: revenue derives from online donations, recurring donations, corporate gifts, estate and in-kind donations, fundraising events, and merchandise, with no fee-for-service revenue stream. Distribution relies on a self-serve website intake, organic social media (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube), an Ambassador Program, and a volunteer network. Since 2020, the organization reports supporting over 2,000 first responders across the United States.
