Transition season is almost here—when service members swap uniforms for civilian life. It’s a big shift, and losing that military camaraderie can make it tougher. Add in recent public sector layoffs hitting veterans, and the stakes climb. At Vets4Warriors, we hear it often: employment stress can unravel confidence fast. But it doesn’t have to.

Our 24/7 peer support, staffed almost entirely by veterans, is here to step in. Since our launch, we’ve supported hundreds of thousands of individuals, including 8,400 first-time callers just last year. People reach out feeling lost, unsure of who they are without their unit. Our peers listen, connect them to employment resources or local networks, and help reignite their sense of purpose. That’s our mission: making connections before challenges escalate.

If you work with a VSO, share this lifeline with your network: 1-855-838-8255 or vets4warriors.com. If you’re a veteran facing unemployment or a service member transitioning to civilian life, call us directly at 1-855-838-8255 or visit vets4warriors.com. As transition season approaches, don’t face it alone—one call can shift everything. Pass it on.
