Your community is part of the path forward.
Welcome to the HEADS UP VET™ Coalition
Thank you for being a HEADS UP VET Coalition Partner. You know the people in your community, the questions they ask, and the barriers they face when they need support. That trust matters.
Head injuries and changes in brain health are not always recognized right away. A Veteran may first mention a concern to a family member, a peer, or someone at an organization like yours. Together, we can make that moment more useful: helping people learn what to look for, start a conversation, and find a next step.
This page is your home for current coalition messages, graphics, and partner resources. Use what fits your community, and come back often. We’ll update the materials as the work grows.
What it means to be a partner.
You don’t need to be a brain health expert to make a difference. Your role is to help trusted information and practical pathways reach the people who need them.
As a coalition partner, you can:
Share HEADS UP VET information through your existing channels.
Help Veterans, service members, and families learn about the Brain Health Check-In and available resources.
Bring questions and insights from your community back to the coalition.
Connect with other organizations working to make support easier to find.
Every partner brings a different strength. The more places this conversation can begin, the more opportunities someone has to find their next step.
Start here: your partner toolkit.
New to the coalition? These three steps will get you started:
1. Read the guide. Review the approved language, badge rules, and guidance for sharing sensitive stories.
2. Add your partner badge. Place the supplied badge on your website or partner page and link it to the public HEADS UP VET page.
3. Share a post. Choose a graphic and caption below that fits your audience. Add your organization’s voice and a clear link to learn more.
