BATTLE BUDDY PROGRAM FOR VETERANS

The Experience

For Veterans disconnecting & isolating was not something they wanted to do to survive.
 During long deployments over seas, training and every day life of going to work, it was something they had to do.
During deployments in uncontrolled environments, veteran's senses were heightened while their bodies experienced shock as an every day occurrence.  During which, invisible wounds from the battle were left untreated or undiagnosed until veterans return home after the war. To only begin to fight another battle at home on American soil.

The Focus

The Military Veteran Project pairs veterans with battle buddies for peer to peer support & mentorship.  Along with medical assessments, pain management as a pharmacist inspects current medications prescribed from active duty service and VA hospitals, providing alternative treatments for PTSD, research of traumatic brain injury and educational programs to allow the veteran to slowly reintegrate with an emphasis on  suicide prevention.  In short, the Military Veteran Project is training today's war fighters how to come home after the war.

The Result

We got your 6 - The Battle Buddy program partners veterans with other veterans as mentors to assist with reintegration and help train them to come home after war. 
War fighters today are faced with ongoing challenges while the Veterans Administration tries to assist with the lengthy backlog that is only going to grow as military cuts happen.  Many of today's young veterans refuse to register with the VA for assistance and rely on vetted non profits like the Military Veteran Project to have their back in their time of need.  Since 2012, the Military Veteran Project has been able to assist over 4,000 veterans & families.
