  • The peer groups and the medical voucher initiative are both part of Operation Care for Vets. Through weekly peer meetings STAIVA seeks to promote veterans mental health as well as that of their dependents spouses and kids. We discuss a range of topics pertaining to mental health in our four weekly peer groups. Giving Veterans access to professional care for the basic medical requirements required for an assessment and treatment plan is the primary objective of the Medical Voucher program each veteran can talk to a contracted professional for mental and physical help that might have been service connected. Each voucher relates not just to physical health but also to emotional and behavioral health. Co-pays tests x-rays medical visits specialty doctors and other expenses are all covered by this. Although we recognize that veterans may face challenges the organization provides assistance to ease their transitioning.
