The Veterans Crisis Line Is Independent of Silent Valor Foundation

The Veterans Crisis Line is a confidential, free resource staffed by caring, qualified responders, many of whom have military experience themselves. It operates independently of Silent Valor Foundation — we are not affiliated with or responsible for its operation, but we want every person who visits this page to know how to reach it.

• Dial 988, then press 1 to reach the Veterans Crisis Line.
• Text 838255 to connect with a responder by text.
• Visit https://www.veteranscrisisline.net/ for chat support and more information.

You do not need to be enrolled in VA benefits or health care to use this service. It is free, confidential, and available 24/7.

For Immediate Danger, Call 911

If you or someone else is in immediate physical danger, call 911 right away. Emergency responders can act faster than any other resource when safety is at risk this moment.

Additional Verified Resources

Beyond crisis support, these official, verified resources can help with benefits, housing, and food needs. Silent Valor Foundation does not operate these services and does not claim formal partnership with them — we share them because they are publicly available and reputable.

VA.gov — Official U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs site for benefits, health care enrollment, and claims information.

VA Homeless Programs (va.gov/homeless) — Information on housing assistance and support for veterans experiencing or at risk of homelessness.

USDA Food and Nutrition Service (fns.usda.gov) — Information on food assistance programs such as SNAP for individuals and families facing food insecurity.

For Non-Emergency Needs, We're Here to Walk Beside You

Our support inquiry form is not monitored for emergencies and should never be used in a crisis — please use the crisis resources above or call 911 for immediate danger. For everyday needs like benefits navigation, housing, food, gas, utilities, or care coordination, reach out through our Ask for Support form and a member of our team will follow up at a reasonable pace.
