We assert that the single best predictor of a veteran’s quality of life after military service is the depth and resilience of their social network. This includes their family environment, their work environment, their social environment, and their healthcare. The physiological damage that can happen in a warriors brain is not a sign of weakness. It is a marker that a person has endured stress and pain that most people can simply not imagine. These effects can cause a person to feel like a pariah. They may feel that they no longer fit in to society that used them to provide comfort and safety to an uncaring world. It can result in a self-loathing so intense that the only escape is to destroy oneself.

The whole purpose of the veterans walk in network is to provide a Nexus of volunteers, consumers, patients, professionals to initiate unstructured informal learning groups offering peer support.

So if you are caring individual who wants to contribute something to the care of suffering veterans, or if you’re just a vet who is feeling lonely and in pain you may want to stop for a moment and learn about the walk-in Network. All are welcome.
