What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Background Young Veterans in the U.S. face a heightened risk of suicide, particularly during the first year after leaving military service-a period often referred to as the "deadly gap." Suicide rates among Veterans aged 18 to 34 have nearly doubled since 2001, and research shows that reintegration challenges during this transition are closely linked to increased suicide risk. The Veteran Sponsorship Initiative (VSI) was developed to address this critical period by connecting Transitioning Servicemembers and Veterans (TSMVs) with trained, VA-certified peer sponsors. These sponsors help TSMVs navigate civilian life and access VA care. Early evaluations show that TSMVs matched with sponsors are more likely to report lower levels of reintegration difficulties, higher levels of social support, engage in VA services and report lower rates of depression and suicide risk.
