Participants in the intervention group will be blinded to their study arm status. They will receive full access and orientation to SolanoConnex.org, including multiple features designed to enhance engagement with local mental health resources. First, they will be granted access to the SolanoConnex.org website and mobile application, educational materials, social media and resource navigation. To facilitate ease of use, participants will receive a step-by-step guide and a tutorial video demonstrating how to navigate the platform's features. Additionally, they will gain access to SolanoConnex-produced videos and podcasts which profiles mental health providers and covers various mental health topics.

Participants in the control group will also be blinded to their study arm status. They will receive generic materials consisting of access to publicly available mental health resources without exposure to SolanoConnex.org or its patient navigator services. They will be provided with general information on national mental health hotlines, local mental health services, and online directories of available resources but will not receive specific training or guidance in using these resources.

To further support participants, patient navigators will be available to provide personalized assistance, helping individuals connect with relevant services. At the outset of the study, participants will receive detailed instructions on how to access and utilize patient navigator support.

Mental health service utilization (i.e. appointment with therapist, attendance at grief group, commencement of PTSD treatment)

Endorsed and Anticipated Stigma Inventory (EASI): The EASI is a 40-item self-report inventory that consists of 5 scales assessing mental health beliefs that may be particularly salient for military and Veteran populations, particularly with regard to their willingness to seek mental health treatment. Respondents are asked to rate 8 items in each of 5 scales, 3 that address key aspects of endorsed stigma and 2 that assess key aspects of anticipated stigma. Each scale uses a 5-point Likert-type response format: 1 (strongly disagree), 2 (somewhat disagree), 3 (neither agree nor disagree), 4 (somewhat agree), 5 (strongly agree). Items within each of the 5 scales can be summed to create individual 5 scale scores. The higher the score, the higher the stigma.
