About Us

Vision

SAVE sees a world where veterans are supported, cared for, and have access to services where and when they need them. SAVE believes that no veteran should go unsupported in their struggles.

Mission

SAVE operates as a peer support outreach program that connects veterans and their families with benefits, services, and support. Our mission is to prevent suicide and mental health distress among veterans by identifying their post-service issues and proactively connecting them with benefits and services.

What We Do

  • Peer support
  • Veteran advocacy 
  • Connections to mental health services, substance use disorder, financial resources, housing, and other benefits
  • Battlemind training (military culture)
  • QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) training
