Our organization serves veterans in the following areas: Homelessness, health care for reentry, veterans justice outreach, housing, transitioning, PTSD, jobs and education.
We've served more than 1,200 veterans over the last 12 years.
We are currently in need of expanding our office space and also are in need of computers, desk, and telephone network.
The Mental Health Veterans Advocacy Council (MHVAC) is a 501(c)(19) Veterans Organization established and run by Veterans. Although independent of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), we have a reliable line of communication through our strong liaison with the local Dallas VA Medical Center, its mental health professions and other officials. Indeed, our success depends in large part on how well we collaborate with mental health and medical center leadership. However, we can not over emphasize enough that we are an independent entity, not the VA; we do not speak for the VA nor do we provide mental or medical treatment or advice of any kind.
We have a strong commitment to our mission to establish a true partnership between Veterans and their families, VA mental health professionals, community partners and Veteran service organizations in order to make valuable contributions to and have a positive impact on the quality of VA mental health services.
In the pursuit of our goals, we adopt the recovery-oriented philosophy that includes the values of:
Respect
Hope
Dignity
Responsibility
Equality
Trust
Empowerment
Self-determination
