In the field, popping smoke signals your position so help can reach you. Here, it means the same thing — tell us where you are, and we'll connect you to what you need.
You don't have to know exactly what you need, and you don't have to navigate the system alone. Pop-Smoke is the simple front door to everything ETS offers — and the wider network of resources beyond our walls.
Reach out however is easiest. A real person will help you figure out the next step, whether that's supplies, a class, the gym, Warrior's Return, or a connection to a provider we trust.
Call, stop by the VREC, or send a message. However you're comfortable.
No script, no judgment. Share as much or as little as you want.
We point you to the right ETS program or the right outside resource — fast.
You're not a ticket to close. We check back to make sure you got what you needed.
You matter, and help is available 24/7. Call the Veterans Crisis Line at 988, then press 1, or text 838255. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 911.

Reaching out is the strong move, not the weak one. We're here when you're ready.
