Our veterans and their families sacrifice a tremendous amount for service to our country. Sometimes that service will cause veterans to suffer an internal and/or external harm of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and/or Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).
It is well documented that some PTSD/TBI suffering veterans experience self-destructive behaviors (drugs, alcohol, and/or suicide). Some conduct will lead them into the criminal justice system and eventually incarceration. There are programs offering treatment for veterans who enter the criminal justice system. The Community Veterans Project (CVP) is different.
The CVP is the first of its kind with the mission to proactively search for veterans in crisis before their behaviors rise to the level of criminal actions. We believe that by employing the superior observations skills of First Responders (police officers, fire fighters, and paramedics), we may be able to intervene in the cycle of self-destruction that accompanies veterans who suffer from PTSD/TBI.
The CVP is a nonprofit charitable corporation #27-0909038. Our mission statement:
Through our POST certified program there has been trained over 4,500 First Responders. With your support, we intend to continue our educational campaign and develop an Early Warning training course for the families of veterans.
Your gift will help provide:
• Specialized training for Police Officers, Fire Fighters, and Paramedics
• Training will be offered in the California, but we are expanding across the USA
• Temporary emergency funds for veterans families
Thank you for your contribution to the health of our veterans and their families.
