On Behalf of our Veterans and on a Quest to Provide Mental Health Resources

[saltwater]

Hi Adrienne,

I'm an Army veteran with over 21 years of service. I'm also the President of Saltwater Warriors.  We are a 501c3 nonprofit providing free mental health counseling to veterans.

I see Forbes ranked Southwest Airlines in the top 5 for companies hiring and supporting veterans.  I wanted to reach out and ask for your help in linking me up with your corporate responsibility contacts to see if there is an opportunity for collaboration. Saltwater Warriors can provide presentations to your veteran employees, linkage to counseling resources for veterans and a peer group experience on a charter fishing trip in the Gulf of Mexico.

Our goal is to reduce the stigma a lot of veterans have about seeking mental health counseling.

I would appreciate any help you can provide in pointing me in the right direction. My email is michael@saltwaterwarriors.org.

Thank you,

Michael Burns

This is a customer to customer forum - unless you know the person you are trying to reach is active on here you should try other methods.

Hey, @saltwater!

So sorry for the delayed response - thanks for thinking of Southwest! 

I'd encourage you to reach out to our Teams in strategic sponsorship and partnerships via sponsorships@wnco.com. They will likely be your best resource for sharing information at Saltwater Warriors, which sounds like an incredible resource for the mental health of Veterans. 

Thank you so much for your service and for all that you're doing to take care of those that have served and sacrificed!
