Sometimes You Just Need to Talk to Someone Who Gets It
What peer-to-peer support is, who you'll actually talk to, and why it's often the easiest first step when you're not ready for 'counseling.'
- Peer supporters are trained veterans and military spouses who've lived the same transitions.
- It's confidential, unlimited, and lower-stigma than formal counseling for many people.
- Great for the in-between stuff: a PCS to nowhere you know, a deployment, leaving the service.
- If you need more, a peer can warm-hand-off to counseling — no cold transfers.
Peer-to-Peer Support (official, free) — Peer support is free and confidential through the official program. Call 800-342-9647.
