Your Post, Watching Each Other's Six — Every Day, Not Just in a Crisis

Most veterans don't disappear all at once — they go quiet a little at a time, and nobody notices until it matters. VetProtect keeps your post, chapter, or care team checking in on each other daily, with a safety net built in for when it's more than that.

Ask Yourself

How Well Do You Really Know Who's Still Connected?

Three honest questions. Answer them the way it actually works today at your organization — not the way you wish it worked.

1

A veteran misses two check-ins in a row. Do you know today — or three weeks from now?

Someone stops showing up to meetings. Nobody flags it because nobody's job is to notice — until a family member calls, or it comes up in a debrief after something's already gone wrong.

Honest answer

"We'd probably find out later. Nobody's actively tracking who's gone quiet."

2

A veteran mentions, almost in passing, that things have been rough. Does that get remembered — or does it just pass by?

It's rarely a dramatic disclosure. It's a comment in a text, a quieter voice at the meeting. If nobody's watching for it, it's easy to miss — not because your team doesn't care, but because there's no system catching it.

Honest answer

"Whoever happens to be listening that day either remembers it or they don't. There's no record either way."

3

And if something serious does happen — a relapse, a crisis — does your team see it the moment it happens?

Or does it surface after the fact — in a group text buried under twenty other messages, on someone's personal phone who happened to be the one they trusted that day.

Honest answer

"It depends entirely on who they happened to reach, and whether that person saw the message in time."

If any of those answers made you wince — that's not a staffing problem.
It's a connection problem. Safety follows from connection, not the other way around.

So Here's What VetProtect Actually Is

A Way for Your Post to Stay a Post — Even When Everyone's Scattered

VetProtect is built around one idea: nobody should have to earn attention by having a crisis. Your team sees every veteran on your roster, who's checking in and staying connected over time, and — when it's more than that — every alert, automatically sorted by urgency. Brotherhood first. A safety net underneath.

VetProtect logo

Know Who's Part of Your Circle

Every veteran or supporter you serve, in one place — enrollment status, branch of service, VA-connection status, and a history of their activity over time.

Know the Moment Someone Needs You

Every incoming text is automatically triaged — routine check-in, elevated concern, or active crisis — and shows up in your team's shared inbox the instant it arrives.

Reach Out Before It's a Crisis

AI-generated activity summaries flag who's gone quiet or trending downward — so your team can check in proactively, not just react after the fact.

The Core Idea

Got Your Six

"Watching your six" is older than any app — it's the promise that somebody's paying attention to the part you can't see yourself. VetProtect is built to keep that promise going after the uniform comes off, not just when things go wrong.

Brotherhood, Not Surveillance

This isn't a medical-alert bracelet. It's a way your post, chapter, or care team stays a post — even for the members who can't make it to every meeting.

You Don't Have to Make the Call

A text into a group people already trust is easier to send than picking up the phone. VetProtect works the way veterans already communicate with each other.

Team, Not a Single Point of Contact

Nobody's connection to their post should depend on one person happening to see one message. Your whole care team sees the same shared inbox.

Everyday Connection, Real Safety Net

Most of what comes through is someone just checking in. When it's more than that, the same system routes it to a real person — your team, a local VSO, or the Veterans Crisis Line.

"How in the heck would you ever figure out who in that six-county area is in trouble?"

— A VFW post commander in Central Texas, describing the problem VetProtect was built to solve

The Human Side of One Button

When the Phone Weighs a Thousand Pounds

There's a moment every veteran — and everyone who loves one — knows. Reaching out feels heavier than whatever's actually happening. Not because they don't want help. Because in that moment, deciding who to call and finding the words feels impossible.

Personal Circle

Family & Battle Buddies

Up to 10 people already in their personal Active SOS circle — spouse, parent, the guy who was in their unit — get the alert directly, with their exact location.

VetProtect Portal

Your VetProtect Care Team

The same alert lands in your organization's triage inbox at the same time — GPS attached, tier already assigned, ready for your team to act on.

ONE
BTN

No Decision to Make. No Explaining Required.

They don't have to find the words. Help is already on the way.

Beyond the Inbox

An AI Reporting Engine That Watches Your Whole Population

Every alert is triaged instantly by rules your team controls — fast, predictable, and tuned to how your population talks. On top of that, an AI analysis layer reads across a veteran's history to surface what a single message can't show you on its own.

Per-Veteran AI Summaries

On demand, generate a plain-English summary of one veteran's activity over the last month, three months, or all time — check-in frequency, tone shifts, and anything worth a closer look — instead of scrolling their entire message history yourself.

Roster-Wide AI Population Report

The same kind of AI reporting engine we built into the Connect clinical dashboard, pointed at veteran population health instead of billing: a report that flags who across your entire roster is trending downward and worth a proactive check-in — not just who happened to send an alert.

On the Roadmap: AI-Assisted Triage

Today, tiering runs on fast, transparent keyword rules your team configures — not an AI reading each message live. We're scoping whether an AI layer should assist real-time triage itself, the way it already does for population reporting. If your team wants to help shape that, we'd rather build it with your input than guess.

Back to Those Three Questions

Here's What Happens Instead, With VetProtect

Same three scenarios from the top of the page. Different outcome, because your team sees it the moment it happens.

Tier 1 · Routine

"A veteran misses two check-ins in a row…"

Now: Their check-in pattern is visible on their profile. Your roster-wide AI report flags them as worth a proactive call — before it's been three weeks.

Tier 2 · Elevated

"A veteran mentions that things have been rough…"

Now: That gets logged and flagged for follow-up in the shared inbox — not left to one person's memory. Your team checks back in on their own timeline, before it becomes urgent.

Tier 3 · Crisis

"Something happens — a relapse, a real crisis…"

Now: The alert includes GPS location and surfaces instantly at the top of the inbox, so your team — or the Veterans Crisis Line — knows exactly where to send help.

Substance-use and mental-health recovery programs tracking check-ins and disclosures.

Peer-support groups and campus veteran centers built around veterans supporting veterans.

Not One-Size-Fits-All

Customization for Your Organization

A recovery program and a family support group don't talk about crisis the same way. VetProtect is shaped around your population and your process — not the other way around.

Already Self-Service, Right Now

  • Your own crisis keywords — add or remove the words that should raise a message's priority, tuned to how your population actually talks.
  • Your own private roster — branch of service, VA-connection status, primary contact, and preferred contact time, captured your way.
  • Your own staff & permissions — invite your team, assign Support or Administrator access.
  • Your own reporting — AI-generated summaries and roster-wide triage scoped only to your population.

Configured With You at Onboarding

  • A branded tenant — your organization's name, logo, and a dedicated phone number that's yours alone.
  • Your escalation pathway — the specific local VSO, Vet Center, or VA contact a crisis hands off to.
  • Your response text — customize your own communication responses and unique support texts in your organization's voice, or we'll build common responses and escalation language for you at onboarding.

Veterans Crisis Line — Available 24/7

VetProtect is a triage and alert layer, not a live-staffed crisis hotline. Every tier-3 alert is designed to route to a real, credentialed responder — your team, a local VSO, or the Veterans Crisis Line. Call or text 988, then press 1. If you or a veteran you know is in immediate danger, call 911.

Questions & Answers

Common Questions About VetProtect

No. VetProtect is a portal and triage router — it reads incoming texts, assigns a priority tier, and puts the message in front of your staff. It does not employ credentialed counselors or provide live-answered crisis support itself. Every tier-3 (crisis) message is designed to end at a real resource: your trained staff, a local VSO or Vet Center, or the Veterans Crisis Line at 988.

No. Veterans and supporters communicate entirely by text message to your organization's dedicated number. If someone has a phone that can send a text, they're already reachable — no account, no login, no app required on their end.

No. Each partner organization gets its own private, branded tenant — its own phone number, its own roster, its own staff, and its own settings. Nobody's information is shared or visible across organizations.

Yes — this is self-service today. Your team can add or remove the specific words and phrases that should raise a message's priority, tuned to how your population actually talks. A recovery program might flag "relapse" or "craving"; a family support group might weight isolation language differently.

During onboarding, we configure your specific escalation pathway — the local VSO, Vet Center, or VA contact a tier-3 alert hands off to, alongside your own staff. You can customize your own response text and unique support messages in your organization's voice, or we'll build common responses and escalation language for you — whichever your team prefers.

A small team willing to monitor the inbox and respond to check-ins, agreement on response-time expectations (especially for higher-tier alerts), your local resource information for escalation, and basic organizational information for phone-number registration, which carriers require.
