Proactive Mental Health: A Solution for Prevention
At Victory Bridge Foundation, our vision is to transform the landscape of mental health care for veterans, active-duty military and first responders.
We are dedicated to bridging the gap between critical resources and those who need them most, creating a world where mental health care is accessible, stigma-free and tailored to the unique experiences of our nation’s heroes.
By driving systemic change, we aspire to build resilient communities that prioritize mental health and wellness for all.
Who We Are
At Victory Bridge Foundation, we’re more than a nonprofit—we’re a force for change, rewriting the story of mental health care for veterans, first responders, and their families. Born from personal experiences and driven by an unrelenting passion, we confront the invisible battles our heroes face every day.
​
We bridge the gaps others overlook, delivering holistic, innovative solutions that empower and heal. From fighting stigma to expanding access to care, we are advocates, disruptors, and allies, breaking barriers to create a world where mental health is a priority, not an afterthought.
​
Together, we’re building a resilient future where no hero—or their family—is left behind. Victory Bridge Foundation isn’t just a mission; it’s a movement.
​
The Problem
Veterans and first responders face elevated risks of PTSD, addiction, and mental health challenges within the first year of leaving service or experiencing high-stress events.
Current programs focus on crisis response rather than prevention, leaving most without the early support needed to transition to civilian life successfully, and thrive.
Our Solution
A Preventive Wellness Ecosystem
A centralized platform providing immediate access to peer support, mental health resources, and proactive check-ins during the first year after service.
​​​
50% of veterans experience mental health challenges within their first year after service, yet fewer than 25% are connected to preventive mental health programs.
Preventive care could reduce mental health crises by 40%, but no widespread system mandates this crucial support.
Families of veterans spend an average of 50 hours navigating red tape every year, just to get basic support.
