I AM A SERVICE MEMBER/VETERAN

ACTION OVER SILENCE OFFERS A VARIETY OF MILITARY / VETERAN-SPECIFIC RESOURCES TO SUPPORT YOU WHEN LIFE GETS CHALLENGING

Having access to Military and/or Veteran-specific resources and others who understand where we’ve been is critical to our well-being. Being connected to others who are or have served our country can help tackle isolation and create a sense of belonging both of which are challenges after discharge. Increasing connectedness and belonging is critical for our well being. We hope you’ll connect with Kate Shull for individual support or join one of our Peer Support groups

FREE GUN LOCKS & DETERRA POUCHES

Gun locks can protect you and your loved ones. We distribute free cable gun locks to reduce immediate access during challenging times and to protect kids/grandkids. You can also request them from the VA by emailing Rachael Dettling or by contacting us or by emailing us.

Another way to protect yourself and your family is to safely get rid of any excess or expired medication you have in the house by using our free Deterra pouches. Contact us to receive either of these.

We are currently supported by a Community Challenge grant from the
