Veteran Resilience Program

Veteran-led suicide-prevention navigation, stabilization, and peer support for Southern Nevada Veterans and families.

Charlie-Mike Foundation’s Veteran Resilience Program is a Veteran-led, community-based suicide-prevention navigation and stabilization initiative serving Veterans, eligible service members, and families across Southern Nevada.

CMF helps identify Veterans who may be experiencing transition stress, isolation, financial hardship, unemployment, transportation barriers, benefits challenges, family stress, or disconnection from care. Through peer support, case management, benefits navigation, transportation/access assistance, and warm referrals to VA and community partners, CMF helps Veterans remain connected, supported, and mission-focused before challenges escalate into crisis.

Why This Program Exists

Veterans often face transition stress, social isolation, financial instability, employment challenges, transportation barriers, and difficulty navigating benefits or care. These challenges can increase suicide risk when Veterans become disconnected from support.
CMF uses trusted Veteran-led outreach and peer navigation to identify needs earlier, reduce barriers, connect participants to appropriate resources, and provide continued follow-up through stabilization.

In crisis or immediate danger? Call 911. For confidential support, call 988 and press 1 to reach the Veterans Crisis Line. CMF is not an emergency crisis-response provider and does not replace licensed clinical care. CMF helps Veterans and families connect to appropriate crisis, VA, behavioral-health, benefits, transportation, employment, housing, and community resources.

How the Program Works

Outreach & Referral — Veterans connect with CMF through community partners, Veteran events, peer referrals, direct outreach, or direct contact.
Intake & Eligibility Review — CMF identifies needs related to transition stress, isolation, employment, benefits, transportation, housing, family support, or care access.
Baseline Screening & Risk Identification — Screening is completed by trained personnel or qualified behavioral-health partners using approved tools and referral protocols.

Individualized Support Plan — CMF creates a practical stabilization plan tied to the Veteran’s needs.
Peer Navigation & Case Management — CMF helps the Veteran access benefits, appointments, transportation, employment support, community connection, and partner services.
Warm Handoffs & Follow-Up — CMF follows up to confirm the Veteran remains connected to support.
