Ways to help

Small things that matter

Listen first
You don't need the perfect words. Being there and listening goes a long way.
Ask directly, kindly
If you're worried, it's okay to ask how they're really doing — and to ask about thoughts of suicide.
Take care of yourself too
Caregivers need support. Resources exist for you, not just the veteran.

For community partners & professionals

Churches, employers, schools, clinics and other organizations — we'd love to work with you to connect veterans with support.

A secure partner referral process is planned. It will only be turned on after the privacy and security approach is approved, because referrals can include personal information.
