Objective Zero vs Beyond MST

Objective Zero connects US military service members and Veterans to a nationwide peer support network via secure voice, video, and text. The app also connects Veterans to mental health, wellness, and Veteran-related resources. Register as a user to connect with the Objective Zero Pathfinder network. Or, serve as an Pathfinder to receive voice calls, video calls, and texts from Veterans. All Pathfinders receive basic suicide prevention training and access to advanced training. Disclaimer: Objective Zero is NOT a suicide crisis line and should NEVER be used by someone who is in crisis. If you are thinking about hurting yourself or others, call 911 immediately or go to your local emergency room. The content of the Objective Zero app, such as text, graphics, images, information obtained from Objective Zero Pathfinders or peer supporters, and other material contained on the app ("Content") are for informational purposes only. The Content is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking it because of something you have read on the app or something you have been told by an Pathfinder! Reliance on any information obtained via the Objective Zero app or its Pathfinders is solely at your own risk.

Beyond MST is a free, secure, trauma-sensitive mobile app that was created specifically to support the health and well-being of survivors of sexual assault or harassment during military service, also called military sexual trauma (MST). The app has over 30 specialized tools and other features to help those who use it cope with challenges, manage symptoms, improve their quality of life and find hope. You can also take brief assessments in the app, set self-care goals, track recovery progress, and learn more about MST and common concerns. You can use the app on your own or as a companion to formal treatment, and it may be helpful to survivors of other types of unwanted sexual experiences, too. The app keeps your information private; no account is needed, and any personal information entered in the app is not shared with anyone, including the VA. You can set a PIN lock for extra privacy. You are not alone: the Beyond MST app can help. Beyond MST was made by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Mobile Mental Health team at the National Center for PTSD, Dissemination and Training Division in collaboration with the National Center for PTSD, Women’s Health Sciences Division and the national VA MST Support Team.
