Peer support for veterans to improve daily life
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether having a peer support person—another veteran who has been trained—can help you with daily challenges and overall well-being. You would work with this peer as part of your VA primary care, and the goal is to see if it makes a difference in how you feel and function.
