Lee, a U.S. Navy retiree, is a leader in the veteran community of southern Nevada working with many nonprofits and organizations. She volunteers as the female mentor coordinator at the Henderson Veteran’s Treatment Court, where she works with Judge Mark Stevens and his team to assign mentors to veterans in the program. This essential work often proves pivotal to ensuring veterans graduate from the mentor program into a better future.

She is trained in the Suicide Prevention programs SafeTALK and A.S.I.S.T., which prepare her to assist any veteran struggling with mental health.

NDVS (Nevada Department of Veterans Services) is currently dealing with a large number of requests.

VSO intake appointments are taking about 30–90 days to schedule. The wait time depends on which location you choose and appointment availability. If you have already submitted a request, you may need to wait longer than usual for someone to contact you. It does not necessarily mean your request has a problem, it’s primarily a notice about the current backlog.
