Make the Connection

Developed and operated by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), it serves as a platform where hundreds of Veterans share their personal mental health struggles and the care that aided their recovery. Through video interviews, articles, and podcasts, these Veterans convey their experiences in their own words, making it easier for fellow Veterans and supporters to connect with their stories. The website allows users to filter content by various factors, including symptoms, conditions, service era, and more, in order to find relatable and encouraging accounts. The primary goal of Make the Connection is to break down barriers and reduce the stigma associated with mental health issues, thereby encouraging Veterans and their families to seek the necessary support and care.
