Veteran Buddy Check Week encourages Veterans to connect or reconnect with their Veteran friends just to check in. This week aims to enhance peer-topeer connections, improve mental health, and increase access to resources. You can find information, Veteran resources and sample scripts at the
SD Suicide Prevention website. Veterans can also call 988 and press 1 for the Veterans Crisis Line, chat
online or send a text message to 838255 to receive free, confidential support.
