SABOT FOUNDATION

Founded in 2016

Sabot Foundation is a 501(c)(3) Charitable Trust. Our main focus is providing holistic treatments to veterans to combat the rising rates of suicide.
The issue of veteran suicide is a deeply concerning and pressing matter that warrants immediate attention. It is a tragedy that men and women who have selflessly served their country find themselves battling mental health challenges upon returning home. To address this alarming problem, a clear and actionable mission statement is crucial in guiding efforts to prevent veteran suicide. Our mission focuses on raising awareness, providing support, promoting mental health initiatives, and fostering a sense of community and understanding for our veterans. There have been 128,000 veteran suicides since 1999.

Raising Awareness:
Our mission is to raise awareness about the prevalence and devastating consequences of veteran suicide. Through education and advocacy, we foster understanding among the general public, reducing stigma and misconceptions surrounding mental health issues in the military community. By partnering with media outlets, organizing public campaigns, events and leveraging social media platforms, we ensure that the gravity of this problem remains in the public consciousness. Increased awareness encourages support and action from both individuals and institutions.

Providing Support:
Our mission places a strong emphasis on providing comprehensive support systems for veterans in need. We work tirelessly to expand access to mental health resources, therapy services, our own programs and outreach efforts. Our collaboration with government agencies, nonprofit organizations, and healthcare providers is crucial in developing a robust support network capable of effectively addressing the unique challenges faced by veterans. Our mission is to ensure that veterans receive the care and assistance they deserve, thereby reducing the risk of self-harm, suicide ideation and suicide.

Promoting Mental Health Initiatives:
To effectively prevent veteran suicide, it is imperative to prioritize mental health initiatives. We are committed to investing in holistic and alternative programs, identifying risk factors, and developing evidence-based strategies that address and mitigate mental health issues among veterans. Through collaborations with mental health professionals, researchers, and veterans themselves, we actively explore innovative treatment options, preventative programs, and counseling services tailored to the specific needs of veterans.

Fostering a Sense of Community and Understanding:
One of the key components of our mission is to foster a sense of community and understanding around veteran mental health. We recognize that the support of loved ones, friends, and fellow veterans is crucial in promoting recovery and resilience. By organizing social events, support groups, and peer-to-peer counseling programs, we create safe spaces where veterans can connect, share experiences, and find support. Additionally, we will actively promote veteran inclusion in the workforce, encouraging employers to implement veteran hiring initiatives, thereby fostering a sense of purpose and belonging. The foundation has launched nearly 90 events to date.

Our mission is a comprehensive framework to combat veteran suicide. By raising awareness, providing support, promoting mental health initiatives, and fostering a sense of community and understanding, we take meaningful steps towards reducing the tragic toll of veteran suicide. It is essential that our society comes together to support those who have given so much. Let us stand united in the face of this urgent issue, committed to the mission of saving lives, honoring our veterans, and ensuring their physical and mental well-being is cared for.

Sabot Foundation is part of the Veterans Mental Health Coalition with support from Senators Cory Booker and Rand Paul as well as many members of the House of Representatives.
