EMPOWERING VETERANS ONE RELATIONSHIP AT A TIME America's Warrior Partnership (AWP) believes that meeting veteran needs must occur at the community level where veterans live. That is why AWP created Community Integration, an evidence-based, proven model that empowers veteran service organizations to amplify their initiatives and reach deeper into their communities to empower veterans, their families, and caregivers. The Community Integration approach starts by creating a trusted relationship with the veteran to understand their unique situation and where they want to grow. It then utilizes existing community resources to holistically meet warrior needs, enhance veterans' quality of life, and advance upstream suicide prevention efforts. America's Warrior Partnership's Community Integration Playbook is an easy-to-read handbook that provides community leaders with the framework to implement a proactive, veteran-focused local program .
