Every day, one veteran commits suicide nearly every hour, while at least 15% of returning vets suffer from Post Traumatic Stress. Many vets wait months for mental health care, especially with the VA managing a backlog of more than 900,000 unprocessed medical claims. If you are one of the thousands of veterans affected by Post Traumatic Stress, or other mental health issues, you are not alone, and we are here to help you get the support you seek. Sound Off provides veterans with a support system you can trust, by establishing ongoing, anonymous relationships with mental health specialists. We seek to provide anonymous access to a stable of certified mental health specialists via mobile application.
