Veterans Task Force

A collaborative coalition working together to support veterans’ mental health locally.

VTF Mission

Partner with local organizations and individuals to help prevent suicide among military service members, veterans, and their families. Facilitate communication between organizations, first responders, and veterans and increase connection to care.

Reduce stigma and raise awareness of the difficulties our veterans face in their everyday lives. Provide suicide prevention training to the community to help reduce risk.
