VMS, Veteran Mental Health & Welfare

The Department 2024-2025 VMS and Veteran Mental Health & Welfare Program is a merged program of these two program components which have many similar goals and impact.

The primary goal of both programs is to raise awareness of the issues relating to the need for Mental Health treatment resources, awareness of programs that educate veterans, families and the public on suicide prevention and to provide resources to serve veterans and their families in times of crisis.

Please read the program carefully and ask questions of the Directors on how you and your Post can support veterans in these areas of concern. Additional resources are continually added to this page. Come back again for more!
