—President George W. Bush

Ensuring post-9/11 veterans and their families make successful transitions to civilian life.
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
The Veteran Wellness Alliance links peer-to-peer veteran networks with care providers, so that more veterans receive effective clinical care for the invisible wounds of war.
Additionally, there is no simple and reliable way for a veteran to confidently refer a fellow peer to high-quality mental healthcare. The Veteran Wellness Alliance, in collaboration with Combined Arms, the Wounded Warrior Project, and Syracuse University's Institute for Veterans and Military Families, created a pilot program called Check In to fill this gap.
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.
