Peer Vision Programs and Offerings

Minot Vets for Vets

"Sometimes we just need to be present with others who have had experiences similar to our own; to be seen and heard for who we are and what we've been through, and maybe to help others navigate those same rough waters." 


What is Vets for Vets?

Minot Vets for Vets is a collaborative effort by local veterans who saw a need in our community for wellness and mental health support provided to former service members by persons with similar life experiences.  Vets for Vets centers its activities and services around peer support, and through that vehicle provides connection, information, and resources for persons who are simply looking to live better lives. 

Welcome to Vets for Vets Peer Connect Meetings

All-Veterans Peer Support

Women Veterans Peer Support

Women Veterans Peer Support

Vets for Vets peer support gatherings offer former service members the opportunity to connect with each other through shared experience, and, in turn, to become supporters and resources for others. Meetings on the first Tuesday of the month offer informational topics as well as peer support, and we are always happy to address topics that are of interest to those who take part.

Women who have served in the military face unique challenges. Our women's peer support group offers the opportunity for women to connect and to receive understanding and validation of their experiences from others who have been in their shoes.

Peer Vision & Vets for Vets Receive State and Local Funding

Minot Vets for Vets Program Expansion

Minot Vets for Vets is striving to expand opportunities for area former service members to find connection and support.  As part of this effort, Peer Vision applied for and was awarded Suicide Prevention Community Programming Funding through the North Dakota Department of Health and Human Services.  This funding will allow Vets for Vets to establish a designated veteran gathering space, build its veteran peer support program, add educational opportunities, and enhance its resource and referral capabilities.

Peer Vision and Minot Vets for Vets Awarded a Blue Cross/Blue Shield Caring Foundation BUILD Grant

Vets for Vets has been selected to receive a Blue Cross/Blue Shield Building Healthier Rural Communities (BUILD) Grant for 2025. This Grant will allow Vets for Vets to reach out into our surrounding rural communities to promote peer support availability for those veterans who live outside of the Minot area and who may not have ready access to peer communities or mental health resources. The aim of Vets for Vets peer support efforts, as a whole, is to make sure that all veterans in our area have communities of support built from those who have the shared experience of serving in the military. 


With this BUILD grant, Vets for Vets will establish connections in rural communities, provide peer support specialist and suicide prevention trainings for veterans and those who serve them, and offer ongoing support from experienced peer providers to help these smaller communities develop their own local resources.  


Vets for Vets is honored and grateful to receive this funding and understands the tremendous impact this can have for veterans in our area. We welcome inquiries from rural veterans and community organizations who may want to benefit from this project and develop veteran peer networks in their community.

Minot Daily News Press Release

Vets for Vets Receives Minot Area Community Foundation Grant

In July of 2024, Minot Vets for Vets was awarded funding from the Donald and Genevieve Roush Fund, through the Minot Area Community Foundation, to assist with the purchase of technology and equipment used for veteran peer support, education, and community outreach at the new Vets for Vets meeting center. This funding has allowed Vets for Vets not only to provide a welcoming, efficient meeting space for individuals who take part, but also to stretch beyond our walls to touch the lives of others who might not have immediate access to our center. Peer Vision and Vets for Vets are grateful for this funding that has already facilitated the set-up of our meeting space, allowed veterans to join peer support groups remotely if needed, enabled in-house peer support specialist training, provided outreach capabilities through website, social media, and electronic communication, and so much more. We are humbled and thankful for this community support, and will, in turn, use these resources to enhance available veteran support our community.
