Pilot program

Join the SUAS pilot

Help test early support workflows with a planned cohort of 25 to 50 veterans — privacy-first, consent-based, and clearly labeled as a pilot.

Pilot overview

The pilot tests whether structured check-ins and trusted-circle coordination help surface support needs earlier — not clinical efficacy or suicide reduction claims.

Pilot size

25 to 50 veterans in the initial cohort, with partner organizations supporting recruitment and responder coverage.

Pilot partners (seeking)

Veteran nonprofits, peer support groups, county veteran services (exploratory), and community/faith-based networks.

What the pilot tests

Check-in completion, consent comprehension, signal usefulness, responder follow-up, referral routing, and safety language.

Privacy-first approach

Consent controls, visibility levels, data minimization, and safety escalation language are readiness requirements — not completed certifications.
