Military Veteran Peer Network ⋆ Texas Veterans Commission

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Awareness Month

According to the National Center for PTSD, posttraumatic stress disorder is slightly more common among Veterans than civilians; where at some point in their life, 7 out of every 100 Veterans will have PTSD. This month, the Veterans Mental Health Department wants to bring awareness to PTSD so we can continue to reduce mental health stigmas and educate our communities on treatment and resources.

The MVPN is made of TVC-Certified Peer Service Coordinators and their peer volunteers strategically placed within the local mental health authorities across Texas to create a statewide peer-to-peer network for any service member, veteran, or family member.

Through training, technical assistance, and certification to Local Mental Health Authority-based Military Veteran Peer Network (MVPN) Peer Service Coordinators (PSCs) and their Peers – we create a statewide network of military trauma-affected Veteran peer support.

The MVPN provides services including direct peer-to-peer support, training on suicide prevention and military cultural competency, coordination of mental health first aid, and warm-handoffs to local resources based on the individual needs of the veteran and family.
