Working daily with Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) / Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) veterans across the country, Wounded Warrior Project™ (WWP) sees the impact that combat-related mental health conditions have on veterans’ health, well-being, and economic adjustment. We also see daily the critical importance of good mental health care, and appreciate the dedicated efforts of Veterans Affairs (VA) clinical staff to provide it.
WWP is currently surveying VA mental health employees - administrative as well as clinical - to better understand and be able to convey the provider and employee experience including any significant constraints on providing patient-centered mental health care. This anonymous survey is aimed at understanding your experience in providing mental health care to OEF/OIF veterans.
On behalf of our warriors, thank you in advance for your participation.

Peer Mentoring motivates warriors by helping them develop one-on-one friendships with fellow warriors who are further along in the recovery process.
Sometimes it's easier to discuss the readjustment process with someone who has already been down the same rocky road to recovery. Our certified peer mentors are excellent resources, listeners, and "hospital buddies" who motivate warriors through their own real life experiences.
Peer mentors provide or perform a variety of functions including:
- Becoming a friend
- Serving as an advocate
- Building self-confidence
- Teaching by example
- And so much more!
