Veterans in Cherokee and Pickens counties have launched a program to support veterans in crisis during National Veteran Mental Health Awareness and Suicide Prevention Month.

These resources include local veteran service organizations, mental health providers, and VA services at no cost. Funding for this initiative came from the previous year's Red White and Blue BBQ event, with this year's proceeds also supporting the program's expansion.
