Without ACTION
KNOWLEDGE is Useless.
KNOWLEDGE without ACTION is Futile
~Abu Bakr
Knowledge, Support, Action, Reflection.
When Combined they Compliment & Empower each other, creating a Healing Social Network of In Person True Unstoppable Peer to Peer Self Actualization.
Peer Support is very similar to Life Coaching, Problem Solving, Strategizing Decision Making, and most importantly, empowering another person as a Friend and Confidante.
Veteran Peers have unique perspectives on life. We have unique problems, which can be a complex ball of tangled twine.
Peers reflect and encourage each other through the challenges only Veterans experience. Peers help each other to reach our ultimate goals.
A Peer is NOT a Therapist. A Life Coach is NOT a Social Worker. The Veterans Barracks does NOT provide Counseling. Instead we employ the NAMI recommended QPR: Question Persuade Refer, to help Veterans access the appropriate Services via the Department of Veterans Affairs VAMC.
Each Veteran is different, with unique experiences, and very personal goals. Talking with other Veterans in a Safe and Trusted Veteran Space, allows each Veteran to meet their Goals with full Empowerment from their Peers. Veteran Peers seek to meet in Person, however the use of Text, Messenger and other means of Communication are often employed. The stereotype of the “Lone Veteran” is true, and Peer Support seeks to change not only the stereotype but the Experience as well.
