Immediate Crisis Help
If you may hurt yourself or someone else, feel unsafe, or cannot wait, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department. For veteran-specific crisis support, the Veterans Crisis Line is free, confidential, and available even if you are not enrolled in VA care.
Veteran Suicide-Prevention Hotlines & Text Options
You do not have to wait until a crisis feels “serious enough.” These services can help with suicidal thoughts, emotional distress, safety planning, and finding the next local step.
Arizona Referral & Navigation
If you are unsure which program fits, start with a statewide navigator. Tell the responder your Arizona city or ZIP code and whether you need veteran, family, housing, substance-use, or urgent mental health support.
Arizona Veteran Peer Support
Peer support can be a low-pressure first step. You can ask for someone who understands service, transition, grief, trauma, caregiving, or the experience of supporting another veteran.
Confidential Counseling in Arizona
Counseling can help with anxiety, depression, PTSD, grief, relationship stress, substance use, or a difficult transition. Ask what is confidential, what eligibility applies, and whether telehealth is available before scheduling.
Military Sexual Trauma (MST) Support
MST can happen during active duty, training, or inactive duty, and to people of any gender. You do not need a VA disability rating or a formal report to ask about MST-related care.
Want partner follow-up in your area?
Share an email and, if you want, your first name and ZIP code. We’ll follow up about local veteran and community partners. This form does not ask for sensitive mental health, crisis, trauma, or treatment details.
We’ll send the standard VetPerks welcome email. You can ask us to stop at any time. For immediate danger or suicidal thoughts, use 911, 988, or the Veterans Crisis Line above—not this form.
Support works better as a cluster
This Arizona mental health guide is different from our broader national mental health guide. Use both for care options, then check the practical supports that can affect stress, safety, and stability.
