American Combat Veterans of War

Founded in 2001, American Combat Veterans of War (ACVOW) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization comprised of both veteran and non-veteran personnel (volunteers) within a community. All are committed to assisting veterans in re-adjusting to living productively in a peaceful society.

ACVOW’s signature characteristic is its veteran volunteers who are available to mentor and assist other veterans suffering from post traumatic stress.

ACVOW assists veterans in a number of ways. First, it provides a forum, or safe zone, called the Safe Warrior Outreach Program. Veterans come together and share their combat and post combat experiences with other veterans.

They also exchange dialogue directly with those who share common challenges and can offer assistance in coping with the adjustment to peaceful society. Furthermore, with the encouragement of their peers, combat veterans are assured that it is indeed normal and suitable to seek further counseling if necessary. ACVOW is one of the best tools at helping combat veterans overcome the stigma within the military of seeking help in coping with post traumatic stress.

Second, ACVOW serves as an advocacy organization which draws attention and awareness to combat veterans suffering from post traumatic stress. ACVOW not only reaches out to other veterans, but to public officials, government representatives and the public at large.
