In the Screen and SERVE model of TES, SERVE stands for “Support, Education, & Resources for Veterans with Exposures.”

Meaning of SERVE

  • Support – Providing practical and emotional support to veterans who may have been exposed to harmful agents or environments during their service.
  • Education – Giving veterans clear information about potential health effects, screening options, and next steps so they can make informed decisions.
  • Resources – Connecting veterans with medical, mental health, benefits, and community resources tailored to exposure-related concerns.

How it fits the Screen and SERVE model

  • The screen part focuses on identifying veterans who may have had specific exposures (for example, environmental or occupational during service).
  • The SERVE part ensures that once someone screens positive or has concerns, they receive structured support, education, and referrals to appropriate resources, rather than just a one-time assessment.

TL;DR: In the Screen and SERVE model of TES, SERVE = Support, Education, & Resources for Veterans with Exposures.
