ABOUT US

Who We Are

Founded in 2013, the Veterans Mental Health Council is a Missouri-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit governed by a board of directors. We support veterans and families impacted by military service and mental health challenges.

What We Do

VMHC works to reduce veteran suicide, improve access to support, reduce stigma, and ensure veterans’ voices are included in the decisions and conversations that affect their lives. We help veterans, families, caregivers, volunteers, and community partners cut through the confusion, understand where to start, and connect with the right support before isolation or crisis takes over. We also provide meaningful volunteer opportunities and equip our volunteers with the training, guidance, and support they need to serve veterans and families responsibly.

VMHC does not provide clinical treatment, crisis care, case management, medical advice, or emergency services. We provide practical education, resource navigation, volunteer outreach, and clear pathways to support. Veteran mental health is not just a clinical issue. It is a community responsibility. Veterans and families should not have to navigate mental health challenges alone, and people who step up to serve them should be supported, prepared, and valued.
