Veterans Peer to Peer Support

If you are looking for someone to talk to, meet other veterans or even some feedback on a problem, this group is for you. You can even sit on the sidelines and listen to what is on other veterans minds.

If you are new to the group, you must bring a copy of your DD-214 and a picture ID to be able to join in. After two meetings, you will then be issued a "Verified Veteran ID Badge" to enter future meetings.

This is a casual, hassle free, peer-to-peer, open forum group where we talk about whatever is on everyone's mind. Hot coffee, snacks, bottled water and soft drinks are provided.

Our 'Veterans Peer Support Group" meets every Friday Night at our Veterans office located near Fort Harrison in Lawrence, Indiana. Average in attendance is roughly 30-45 with 25-30 verified Veterans

Warmline

Launched in September, 2022, we also have a warmline for veterans that provides 24/7 access. Our warmline provides a safe, anonymous and confidential environment to connect with people who are here to listen.

We are the only all volunteer veterans warmline in the state of Indiana that provides veterans a place to talk and connect with another veteran. Our warmline is the first 24 hours  day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year warmline for veterans.

What is a warmline..

 A warmline is a phone number you call to have a conversation with someone who can provide support during hard times. A warm line is an alternative to a crisis line that is run by “peers,” generally those who have had their own experiences of trauma that they are willing to speak of and acknowledge. Unlike a crisis line, a warm line operator is unlikely to call the police or have someone locked up if they talk about suicidal or self-harming thoughts or behaviors. Most warm line operators have been through extreme challenges themselves and are there primarily to listen. A warm line has the purpose of reducing hospitalization and forced treatment, being a cost effective and non-intrusive, voluntary intervention.

Whether you’re in crisis or just need someone to talk to, a warmline can help. Warmlines are staffed by peers who have been through their own life struggles and know what it’s like to need to talk. Warmlines are free and confidential. They’re different from crisis lines or hotlines like the National Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, which are more focused on keeping you safe in the moment and getting you connected to crisis resources as quickly as possible. That doesn’t mean you can’t call a warmline when you’re in crisis. A warmline may even be able to help you find the best place to go for crisis resources, or help you prepare to seek out more formal advise.
