Veteran Transition

The Bush Institute is dedicated to serving those who volunteered to wear the uniform in defense of our nation — ensuring post-9/11 veterans and their families make successful transitions to civilian life.

While many post-9/11 veterans move seamlessly into civilian life, others face challenges including unemployment, feelings of isolation, and health issues stemming from the invisible wounds of war -- post-traumatic stress and traumatic brain injury.

Veteran Health and Well-Being

Less than 50% of of warriors who experience the invisible wounds of war actually receive care.  And only 13% of community mental health providers deliver high-quality care for veterans with invisible wounds.

The Warrior Wellness Alliance links peer-to-peer veteran networks with care providers, so that more warriors receive high quality care.

Veteran Economic Opportunity

Veterans are an underutilized resource for the U.S. economy, despite their training, skills, and experience. The VET Roadmap, developed in partnership with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, helps warriors plan and execute effective transitions.
