Our Mission
Partnering with Communities to
Prevent Veteran Suicide
Our mission is to partner with communities to prevent veteran suicide. Our programs accomplish this by starting at the community level and understanding the unique situations of veterans and their families. We connect local veteran-serving organizations with the appropriate resources, services, and partners that they need to support veterans, their families, and caregivers at every stage of veterans’ lives. Our ultimate goal is to improve the quality of life for veterans and to end veteran suicide by empowering local communities to serve them proactively and holistically before a crisis occurs.
Our upstream approach to veteran empowerment is a four-step plan to Connect, Educate, Advocate, and Collaborate with veterans, their families, caregivers, and the communities that support them.
Connect
Proactively building a trusted relationship with veterans and connecting them to available resources or connecting communities with the tools and insights they need to support veterans.
Educate
Informing veterans of the opportunities available to them, as well as educating the community as a whole about the needs of veterans and their value to the community.
Advocate
Raising awareness on behalf of veterans, their families and caregivers to ensure they receive the opportunity and support they need and to advocate for communities' commitment to supporting veterans.
Collaborate
Working together with veterans to create a holistic plan and collaborate with all offerings from the local community to regional, state and national resources to ensure the success of the veterans within the community.
Programs
Our upstream approach to veteran empowerment is a four-step plan to Connect, Educate, Advocate and Collaborate with veterans, their families, and the communities that support them.
Transparency
As a 501(c)(3) organization, the Board of Directors and executive leadership of America’s Warrior Partnership are committed to transparency. Our policies and procedures ensure that the organization’s financial and operational practices meet and exceed nonprofit industry standards.
Community Integration
Helping The Community
Provides veteran-serving organizations with the tools to implement a customized program that is responsive to local veterans, families, and caregivers.
The Network
Connecting Local Organizations To National Resources
A national coordination center that provides local veteran-serving organizations with a connection to national resources when a veteran’s request cannot be met locally.
"As our programs continue to grow on a national scale, we have never lost sight of our core mission at the community level. Alongside our official affiliates, there are more than a dozen communities and hundreds of individuals contributing to the mission of America’s Warrior Partnership.
We hope you will join us in closing the gaps between national resources and local service providers to ensure veterans, their families and caregivers are empowered to thrive at every stage of their post-military lives."
