Why we’re here

Infographic titled “Veteran Mental Health Treatment Statistics” highlighting that 11–20% of veterans are diagnosed with PTSD, 22% with depression, yet only 49% seek treatment. The right side displays 100 icons representing veterans; the top two rows (20 figures) are red, symbolizing those with PTSD or depression, but only the top row (10 figures) will seek help. Emphasizes the treatment gap in veteran mental health and the urgent need for veteran support, especially for those dealing with veteran trauma and veteran PTSD.
Infographic titled “Veteran Mental Health Treatment Barriers” listing three main challenges veterans face when seeking mental health care. Barriers include: (1) Mental health stigma with thoughts like “What does this say about me?” and “Am I weak?”; (2) Confidentiality concerns such as “What if people find out?” and “What happens if I feel better?”; (3) Provider availability including issues like lack of understanding from counselors, provider turnover at the VA, and no availability. Highlights key factors contributing to unmet veteran mental health needs, including stigma, trust issues, and access to care.

It seems so simple … just get help at the VA.

Easy, right?

Not really.

Veterans face real and persistent challenges when it comes to getting mental health care. While the VA provides vital services and support, it’s not always enough—or fast enough.

Many veterans wait months for appointments, only to be rushed through visits that feel impersonal. They’re often passed from nurse to provider, and by the time they finally sit down with someone, it can feel like no one truly hears them. Quick fixes are offered, but the deeper issues remain.

One of the biggest struggles? Veterans are exhausted from constantly having to advocate for themselves. They’re asked to prove they need help—again and again.

At the VetStrong Project, we’re here to change that. We offer veteran-led, community-based programs that prioritize real connection, consistent care, and a clear path forward—without the red tape.
