In collaboration with the Southeastern Wisconsin Veteran Suicide Prevention Taskforce, Veterans Health Coalition, and the Veterans Administration Medical Center.
What we do!
The Captain John D. Mason Program aims to save lives by utilizing Veteran peers that go into the community and locate Veterans in need engaging them in VA health services, and other community resources, to live a healthy, productive life.
Our Veteran Peers have lived experience and understand what you are going through. They are available to talk through problems and provide ideas to help cope with everyday issues. They can also help you adjust to civilian life or just talk!
We work directly with the Southeastern Wisconsin Veteran Suicide Prevention Taskforce, Veterans Health Coalition, and Veterans Administration Medical Center. Our program is designed to provide you the best peer services, referrals for case management support and connection to VA benefits.
