About Veterans Mental Health Council
Founded in 2013, the Veterans Mental Health Council (VMHC) is a Missouri-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit empowering veterans and their families to become confident self-advocates. Through advocacy, education, and peer support, we help veterans navigate mental health care, housing, employment, VA benefits, and substance-use resources while building resilient, veteran-led communities where veterans support veterans. What began as a grassroots effort has grown into a trusted organization serving hundreds each year and creating lasting, community-driven change. Our focus is simple:
- Advocate: Access care, benefits, and critical support
- Educate: Build self-advocacy and system-navigation skills
- Empower: Veterans helping veterans through mentorship and community
