Objective Zero vs Become

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.
