The "Why" that Drives us

Addressing a Critical Need

PTSD, suicide, depression, and stigma are significant challenges affecting our warriors’ mental wellness, with far-reaching impacts on individuals, families, and communities. Veterans often face unique challenges as they transition from military to civilian life, and these challenges can lead to mental wellness struggles that require support, understanding, and action.

Filling the Gaps in Existing Services

Although there are existing services for veterans, many are overwhelmed or underfunded. We aim to fill these gaps, ensuring that all veterans have access to high-quality mental health care without long wait times.

Raising Awareness

There is still significant stigma around mental health, particularly in the military community. Saltwater Warriors also focuses on education and awareness campaigns to change perceptions and encourage more veterans to seek help.

Building a Community

We continue to build a supportive community where veterans can find understanding and camaraderie, creating an environment where our warriors feel comfortable seeking help without fear of judgment.
