VA's Veteran Buddy Check Week

October 21, 2024

During VA’s Veteran Buddy Check Week, veterans and their families are encouraged to take the pledge to talk to 10 (#Talkto10) veteran friends and watch the peer wellness video that includes VA S.A.V.E. suicide prevention training. The goal of Veteran Buddy Check Week is to connect veterans with their service brothers and sisters, decrease isolation, increase access to VA care, and offer mental health and crisis intervention support. The VA has a toolkit with key messages and resources, social media graphics and sample content posts to help spread the word.
