What we operate, and what each one will not do

Updated September 17, 2026 · Free public-benefit programs

Overview

Veterans Pathway Project operates free programs for the public. They are free to download and free to use. There is no premium tier, no in-app storefront on this website, and no program replaces professional care.

If you need crisis help right now, call or text 988, then press 1 for the Veterans Crisis Line. More guidance is on our Resources page.

Help Me Vets

Help Me Vets is a free map and resource program for veterans, service members, and families. It helps people locate VA facilities, Vet Centers, veteran service organizations, and nearby support resources, including pathways related to PTSD, mental health, and peer support.

It exists to shorten the distance between a person and the office that can actually help them. No account is required to look something up. Directory data is maintained for public benefit and is not a substitute for calling a facility to confirm hours or services.

Limits: Not run by the VA. Not medical care, counseling, claims assistance, or emergency services.

Pathway Network

Pathway Network is a free, trusted space for veterans, service members, families, and supporters to connect, share updates, and find peer support. The goal is practical connection: people who understand military life and can point each other toward community resources.

Limits: Not an emergency, medical, or mental-health service. If someone needs immediate help, call or text 988, then press 1, or call 911.

School Assistant

School Assistant is a free digital support program for students and families navigating school-related needs, including study and homework help. It is meant for everyday school tasks, not for crisis response or formal education counseling.

Limits: Not a substitute for school counseling or emergency services.

How these programs stay free

Map data, servers, and publishing fees are paid for by donors, not by users. Gifts keep Help Me Vets, Pathway Network, and School Assistant available to the public at no charge.
