FLEOA foundation teams with Project Never Broken on officer wellness

The F.L.E.O.A. Foundation and Project Never Broken announced a partnership on July 8, 2026 to expand wellness support for federal law enforcement officers. The effort will back awareness and fundraising events, including the Big Blue Bash, as both groups push help for PTSD, burnout and other job-related stress.

Why it matters: - Federal law enforcement officers face trauma, stress and burnout as part of daily service. - The partnership is aimed at expanding physical and mental wellness support for officers and first responders. - The collaboration also honors fallen Detective Greg Ferency and the broader need to support those who serve.

What happened: - The Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association and the F.L.E.O.A. Foundation announced a partnership with Project Never Broken on July 8, 2026 in Washington, DC. - Project Never Broken is a nonprofit focused on hope, help and healing for law enforcement officers and first responders. - The partnership will include joint efforts such as the Big Blue Bash. - The groups also plan to support officer wellness, peer support and programs addressing PTSD, burnout and the cumulative toll of the profession.

The details: - Project Never Broken was founded by Shelley Klingerman in honor of her brother, Detective Greg Ferency, badge #129. - Ferency was a 30-year law enforcement veteran and FBI Task Force Officer. - He was ambushed and killed in the line of duty on July 7, 2021. - Project Never Broken says it aims to carry forward Ferency’s legacy by telling the stories of 129 officers. - The organization also provides support to people who serve. - The partnership builds on Project Never Broken’s educational programs, community outreach and events like the upcoming “Cruise with a Purpose.” - FLEOA and the F.L.E.O.A. Foundation say they support federal law enforcement officers and their families through advocacy, education and direct assistance. - The F.L.E.O.A. Foundation also endorsed Project Never Broken’s goal of providing “Help, Hope, & Healing,” according to Jon Adler, president of the foundation. - Shelley Klingerman said the partnership will help expand the mission of providing hope, help and healing and reduce the stigma around seeking support.

Between the lines: - The announcement reflects growing attention to the mental health strain on law enforcement personnel. - The emphasis on peer support and stigma reduction suggests the groups see wellness as both a morale issue and an operational issue. - Tying the partnership to Ferency’s story gives the effort a memorial and personal anchor, not just a fundraising one.

What's next: - Project Never Broken will join future F.L.E.O.A. Foundation initiatives tied to officer wellness and awareness. - The Big Blue Bash is expected to help raise funding for related programs. - The upcoming “Cruise with a Purpose” will continue Project Never Broken’s outreach and education efforts. - FLEOA and the F.L.E.O.A. Foundation said they will continue their advocacy and direct support for federal law enforcement officers and their families.

The bottom line: - The partnership turns a remembrance project into a broader wellness push for federal law enforcement.
