Peer-to-Peer Group

The study on the intervention's commitment, practicality, and acceptance found that experienced participants valued their peers' ability to engage and provide support. Recent research emphasizes the role of veteran peers in promoting formal therapy. A peer-to-peer program for veterans acknowledges that peer support can strengthen cultural ties and minimize suicide risk by improving initial treatment and committment (Greden et al., 2010). This is a clinically focused peer collaboration aiming at improving clinical care or official services. STAIVA's veteran suicide prevention and mental health awareness programs promote the well-being of veterans.
