If I am a veteran in crisis, where can I get support?
You can use the Veterans' Crisis Line which you can dial to speak to someone or there is a text number you can use to chat.  There is also a TTY number if that is a need.  You can also either dial 911 or go the nearest emergency room or VA medical center.
What does the VA consider to be a traumatic event?
A serious injury, personal or sexual trauma, or sexual violation, or you were threatened with injury, sexual assault, or death.
