The Roseburg VA Health Care System is now offering a daily Peer Support Connections Call for veterans who might need additional support during the facility’s COVID-19 response.
A release said the call is for veterans who are practicing social distancing and are no longer able to participate in community or VA face-to-face groups, or who can’t access the sources of support they may have been using before the response began.
Any veteran receiving care at the Roseburg VA or who lives in its catchment area can participate. To access the call, dial 1-800-767-1750 and use access code 77930. The call is taking place seven days a week at 2:00 p.m. and lasts for one hour. It will consist of a brief check in, a short mindfulness or relaxation technique, followed by support, problem solving or skills development. No referral is necessary.
