Safe Harbor for Arizona Veterans

Serving more than 500,000 service members, veterans & families statewide.
Why Safe Harbor Exists
Many Arizona veterans use cannabis to manage pain, stress, or sleepless nights. That’s real life — and you deserve support that respects your choices and your privacy.
Be Connected is a statewide network that helps veterans and families find trusted connections for housing, finances, relationships, and stability. You don’t have to be in crisis to reach out. Sometimes one conversation is enough to steady the ship.
Connection can start with a single conversation.
When You Reach Out
- You connect with someone trained to listen — not judge.
- You choose what to share.
- You decide what happens next.
- We are here for you.
Your Privacy Matters
Be Connected never shares your information with the VA, dispensaries, or any agency. Your call stays between you and the person who answers.
“After back surgery, I wasn’t sleeping much and started pulling away from everyone. I saw a Be Connected card at my dispensary, called, and got linked to a local vet peer group and help with my utility bill. One call made a big difference.”
