Matthew Mattera is an inspirational writer, motivational speaker, a leader in the fight against suicide, a military veteran, and the author of the powerful and game-changing book, HOPE – A Memoir: My Journey of Love, Loss, and Faith. Matthew grew up in Narragansett, a small coastal town in the state of Rhode Island. As an officer in the United States Navy, he has served our great nation for over two decades. He is married to his best friend and lovely wife Erica; together they have three beautiful children. Matthew’s testimony is about overcoming extreme adversity through tenacious faith, raw guts, and the power of Immoveable Hope. At the age of 6, he lost his father to a self-inflicted gunshot wound. At the age of 37, he lost his 15-year-old daughter to a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Between those two deaths, Matthew lost a cousin and two uncles to suicide, and a brother to self-harm. Matthew has dedicated himself to a result-oriented and task-focused mission: to expose and eradicate suicide and be the voice of Life, Purpose, and Hope. His work is dedicated to reframing the conversation about the suicide problem set by asking critical questions, embracing lifesaving answers, compelling open dialog, and spreading hope through a Whole-of-Society Approach What sets Matthew’s story apart is a unique point of view. He reveals the heart and mind of a father, son, brother, cousin, and nephew – all one person – who has lost loved ones to suicide and self-harm; losses that span generational branches in one family tree. His extensive professional expertise also makes his story different. Through the lens of over 20 years of military experience in information operations and strategic communication, Matthew explains how informational power, a largely misunderstood and dangerously ignored avenue of influence over our mental and spiritual health, is a core component in the war against suicide. His powerful and compelling message has been broadcast through local, national, and international platforms. Matthew has become a public advocate for suicide prevention, understanding informational power, surviving grief, and loss, successfully navigating difficult challenges, and equipping others with critical life skills; not just so they can survive, but so they can excel. Matthew's message is raw, real, relevant, and delivered from the perspective of a professional warrior. Matthew believes that everyone is meant to live with vision, boldness, strategy, and with a clear understanding that everyone is Created for a purpose. His vision is to reframe the conversation about suicide, inspire a tectonic shift across the information environment of our culture, and enable a whole-of-society effort in stopping suicide. He is dedicated to helping others go higher, further, and faster while embracing character development and personal growth throughout the process. Matthew’s work includes motivational and educational speaking, inspirational writing, survivor advocacy, and eradicating the epidemic of suicide.
