About Us

Our story:
Each VA supports a council of Veterans and supporters who provide input on ways to improve mental health services. The San Antonio council is a group of Veterans who use mental health services, and their supporters. We serve as the Voice of the Veteran and to provide a “consumer” point of view on: questions, policies, program development, and/or other matters that affect the Veterans who use our mental health services. The San Antonio VA council currently meets once per month and welcomes input from Veterans, family members, friends, supporters and others who hope to improve care for Veterans. A council representative and a staff liaison to the council meet regularly with Mental Health Service Line leadership to exchange information.

Our Mission Statement:
The mission of the non-profit organization is to establish a true partnership between the Veterans and their families, Veterans Administration Mental Health professionals, Community Partners, and Veteran Service Organizations {VSO), Non-Profits, NGOs, and any other organizations or functions in order to improve the quality of VA Mental Health Services, and to promote best use of those services.
