2 Programs Where Vets Help Vets

Veterans share a strong bond and it sometimes seems like only they can understand each other. Here are 2 programs where vets can find help from other vets:
1. Lifeline for Vets
Lifeline for Vets is a vet-to-vet assistance program. Vets staff hotlines, chats, and texts to provide support to other veterans who are in need. Veterans who need to talk to someone, want to find out about support opportunities, or feel like they are in crisis right now can call (888) 777-4443 or request assistance online.
2. VA Peer Specialist and Peer Support Apprentice
Peer Specialists and Support Apprentices are veterans who have mental health or co-occurring conditions, such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, or substance abuse disorder. They have undergone treatment and are living a life in recovery from their condition, and they want to reach out to fellow veterans and help them do the same. Peer Specialists are trained and certified to provide assistance. Support Apprentices are not certified, but they are trained and do have real-world experience to offer. Vets who are interested in participating in the Peer program can find out more on the VA’s website.
