Actual (reported)Some Veterans who recently served in the military report significant psychological problems based on their experiences in the military. Stressors that these Veterans face when they transition out of the military can acerbate these problems and negatively impact their long-term physical and psychological well-being. The investigators are conducting a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of providing Veterans who are transitioning back into their civilian communities trained, peer mentorship (Pro Vetus) and membership in a Veteran Support Organization (VSO) Team Red, White, and Blue (TM RWB) to reduce transition stressors, maintain psychological and physical health, reduce suicides and reduce criminal incidents.

Research participants will receive an introductory email from the research team informing them that they were randomly assigned to this group and request that they voluntarily join TM RWB and receive mentorship from their matched and assigned mentor. In addition to TM RWB membership, research participants will also receive approximately four months of mentorship from a ProVetus mentor to assist them in further transitioning within the five domains.
Research participants will receive an introductory email from the research team informing them that they were randomly assigned to this arm and request that they voluntarily join TM RWB. Weekly emails will provide lists of voluntary physical/social activities available to all Chapter members. No participation is required in these activities.
Volunteer mentors (a mix of Veterans and non-Veterans) in the civilian community work with transitioning Veterans for approximately four months within five transition domains (1. Employment/Education, 2. Housing, 3. Family and Legal, 4. Social/Community/ Physical Fitness and 5. Medical Care).
TM RWB is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, Veteran support organization found in 2010. Its mission is to enrich the lives of America's Veterans by connecting them to their community through physical and social activity. Central to TM RWB's mission is that inspiring Veterans to become physically active will create opportunities to establish authentic connections to other Veterans, active duty military, and civilians as well as improve the chances for continued successful integration. Enrollment in TM RWB takes place by simply signing up online and providing a name, email address, and zip code (teamrwb.org). TM RWB is not designed as a mental health intervention.
