VETERANS OUTREACH

Hope  Exists Veterans Mobile Outreach, funded through the Staff Sergeant Parker Gordon Fox Suicide Prevention Grant Program (SSG Fox SPGP) and in partnership with Rowan School of Osteopathic Medicine, is a dedicated initiative committed to addressing the critical issues of suicide awareness and reconnecting Veterans with essential VA services. Recognizing the unique challenges  faced by our brave men and women who have served in the military, this  program strives to bridge the gap and offer vital support. The outreach  effort is not only focused on raising awareness about the prevalence of  suicide among Veterans but also on providing a lifeline to those who may be struggling. By mobilizing resources and reaching out directly to Veterans, the program aims to create a network that fosters a sense of community and belonging.
