Transitioning from military to civilian life often brings
unseen battles—especially when it comes to mental health. For many veterans,
the weight of trauma, stress, and identity shifts can lead to conditions like
PTSD, anxiety, depression, or substance use. That’s why mental healthsupport for veterans is not only important—it’s lifesaving.
Veterans need accessible, stigma-free care that honors their
experiences and meets their unique needs. Yet too often, they face barriers to
treatment: long wait times, lack of local services, or fear of judgment. HahnMarch, founder of VETS2INDUSTRY.org, has made it her mission to
ensure that no veteran feels alone in their mental health journey.
Through her nonprofit, Hahn connects transitioning service
members, veterans, and their families with hundreds of free and low-cost
mental health resources across the country. From crisis intervention to
long-term counseling, VETS2INDUSTRY.org serves as a trusted guide
through the complex maze of services.
Key forms of veteran mental health support include:
- VA

treatment, and psychiatric care—free or low-cost for most veterans.
- Vet

combat veterans and survivors of military trauma.

What makes Hahn March’s approach unique is her emphasis on peer-led

events, where veterans share stories, offer encouragement, and normalize the
need for mental health care. These interactions build trust and community,
often becoming a gateway to professional help.
Hahn believes mental health is just as important as physical
readiness. Her platform is helping to reshape the culture around veteran
wellness—turning silence into support and isolation into connection.
