OUR APPROACH

Social Determinants
of Health

When a service member, veteran, or family member reaches out for help, the first step is simple: submit a Request for Assistance. This form is an opportunity to share your needs or wants that will help you thrive. It allows us to assess key social determinants of health (SDoH)—the real-life factors that impact wellbeing every day.

This upstream approach helps us identify risks early on and connect people to the right support before crisis develops.

How We help

Coordinated Care Community

We believe suicide prevention starts upstream: by addressing housing, employment, healthcare, and other SDoH needs before they become overwhelming. 

After you submit your request, three things will happen: 

  1. We assess your SDoH needs and listen to your personal goals.
  2. Our care coordination team creates a customized plan of action. 
  3. We connect you to the right mix of services and follow through to make sure your needs are met.  

On average, we provide 2.5 services per household—because most needs don’t exist in isolation. As an example, addressing housing may also involve employment, transportation, or benefits navigation.

Our Commitment

Support From Start to Finish

Veterans Bridge Home is dedicated to supporting service members, veterans, and their families across the Carolinas. Our approach is rooted in evidence-based practice, military cultural competency, and lived experience—many of our staff are veterans themselves. 

Our work takes place in three key areas:

Community engagement

Building trusted relationships with veterans, families, service providers, and the VA through outreach and events.

Care coordination

Conducting in-dept assessments and connecting veterans to housing, education, benefits, and supportive services.

Employment navigation

Helping veterans and family members prepare for, connect to, and sustain meaningful employment.

When higher-risk factors emerge, our care navigation team (funding by the SSG Fox Suicide Prevention Grant Program) steps in. With specialized training in suicide prevention and mental health, these veteran navigators provide peer support, connect clients to VA and community services, and ensure that no door is the wrong door for help.
