Ensuring post-9/11 veterans and their families make successful transitions to civilian life.
The Bush Institute’s Military Service Initiative is dedicated to ensuring post-9/11 veterans and their families make successful transitions to civilian life.
While many post-9/11 veterans move seamlessly into their next chapters, others face physical, mental and brain health challenges, unemployment, and feelings of isolation. The work produced by this initiative aims to inform, influence, and unite communities, nonprofit and philanthropic organizations, policymakers, businesses, and academic institutions to create conditions that will ensure our veterans’ success and their continued leadership as civilians.

Veteran Health and Well-Being
The Veteran Wellness Alliance is an innovative alliance that connects high-quality care providers and veteran peer networks to empower veterans to seek treatment. With proper care, service members and veterans can continue to thrive on and off the battlefield.
Asking for help with an issue of mental or brain health can be hard. And getting that help — in a system choked by red tape and bureaucracy — can be even harder. That’s why the Veteran Wellness Alliance built Check-In: a user-friendly tool designed to connect veterans with high-quality, compassionate care for mental and brain health.
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.
