Best-in-class mental and brain health care providers and peer veteran networks
The George W. Bush Institute’s Veteran Wellness Alliance is a coalition of ten veteran peer-to-peer networks and ten best-in-class mental and brain health care providers who connect veterans, service members, their families, caretakers, and survivors to high-quality care for their invisible wounds. Talking about mental health is hard, but finding care should not be. Check-In, launched by the Veteran Wellness Alliance, is a reliable online tool that efficiently and effectively connects veterans, service members, their families, caretakers, and survivors to compassionate mental and brain health care personalized to their needs.
