Summary
This study tested whether support from a trained peer specialist—a fellow Veteran who has faced similar challenges—can help Veterans at high risk for suicide. 17 Veterans took part, and researchers measured changes in hope, connection, and suicidal thoughts. The goal was to see if this kind of peer support could supplement standard care and improve well-being.
