HVASocial offers our members a safe place for Members to meet, interact and heal,

How It Works:

-Community: Members regain a portion of the camaraderie lost at separation as they chat with peers on the timeline and meet at a variety of online and in-person events hosted by HVA, the VA and Regional Veteran Service Organizations.

-Suicide: "Social networking sites for suicide prevention can facilitate social community among peers with similar experiences." Luxton DD, June JD, Kinn JT. Technology-based suicide prevention:

-Healthcare: HVA provides feedback to VA Clinics that cannot be obtained in another manner.

When logging into their clinic, Members: Vote in their Clinic's 'How Was Your Day at the VA?' poll then may give an 'Atta-boy’ to their Clinic, or Caregiver or, in HIPPA compliant forums discuss healthcare problems with others of the same clinic and Respond to online surveys co-developed with the Veterans Administration
