Georgia Gerard, LCSW and Kaily Cannizzaro, PsyD will be in attendance from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Rocky Mountain MIRECC (Mental Illness Research Education Clinical Centers of Excellence ). Specifically, they are here with us representing the National VA Suicide Risk Management Consultation Program (SRM) and are here to provide us an in-person VA based training called: S.A.V.E. (Signs, Ask, Validate, Encourage), which focuses on the mission of providing education and resources to Veterans and those who serve Veterans.

Tabatha Glass, Community Development Coordinator for Hope For The Warriors located in Springfield, VA will be in attendance and giving us an overview of the programs and services they provide to military and veterans. Hope for the Warriors was founded by military families aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, NC in 2006 as they witnessed, firsthand, the effects war imparts on service members and their families. Hope For The Warriors has remained grounded in family values as the organization expands both the span of programs offered and the number of wounded, family members, and families of the fallen assisted.

The leadership of the organization remains in the dedicated hands of combat veterans and military family members. Together, our board of directors, staff, and volunteers work tirelessly to serve those who have sacrificed so much. The integrity of our organization is paramount and therefore our representatives are as honorable and noble as our mission and the people we serve.
