Our Mission

Our mission is to improve the mental health and well-being of veterans by advancing science, fostering strong civilian-veteran relationships, and ensuring care reaches those who need it most. We translate research into real-world results and bring together public health data, peer-reviewed science, and community-driven action to support veterans long after they return home.

We improve veterans’ mental health through science, strong relationships, and access to care. Research, data, and community action help us support those who’ve served.
