Together With Veterans

Veteran Community Initiatives, Inc. is the Administrator for Cambria County Together With Veterans. Through this program, our organization leads efforts in coordinating communication and referral networks to assist Veterans and the broader community with behavioral health and suicide prevention support. In partnership with the National Together With Veterans movement, research, and community service agencies, we work to promote individual, family, and community connectedness.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), "over 70 percent of people who engage in suicidal behavior never seek health services. As a result, prevalence figures based on health records substantially underestimate the societal burden" (2013).

Our role is to advocate, educate, and spread awareness of the tools in recognizing self-harming behaviors, and to equip our communities with the resources available to promote interconnectedness within our rural regions.
