Veteran-Led Peer Support Group with Keegan Merritt and Mike Brooks
Veterans often face unique challenges when transitioning to civilian life, including struggles with mental health, isolation, and navigating new roles in their families and communities. At AboutFace-USA®, we recognize the power of connection and shared experiences in fostering resilience, healing, and personal growth. That’s why we invite you to our Veteran-Led Peer Support Group Meetings, held on January 8th and 22nd, 2025, from 7:30 to 9 PM at the AboutFace-USA® Community Center.
These support groups, led by veterans Keegan Merritt and Mike Brooks, provide a safe and welcoming environment for veterans to share their stories, challenges, and triumphs with others who truly understand. Peer-led support fosters camaraderie, builds trust, and helps participants develop practical strategies to navigate life’s hurdles.
