THE BURNS WAY

THE BURNS WAY IS A CHAT-BASED ANONYMOUS PEER SUPPORT PLATFORM. IT IS ACCESSIBLE BY DOWNLOADING THE FREE APP TO A MOBILE DEVICE OR CAN BE REACHED FROM ANY DESKTOP BROWSER. THE PROGRAM CONNECTS VETERANS SEEKING SUPPORT WITH TRAINED VETERAN PEER ADVOCATES WHO USE THEIR LIVED EXPERIENCES TO LISTEN, REFLECT, AND GUIDE GUESTS. THERE IS NO REGISTRATION OR NEED TO PROVIDE PERSONAL INFORMATION. WHEN CHATS END, THEY COMPLETELY DISAPPEAR. THE BURNS WAY IS PROUD TO WELCOME AND SERVE MEMBERS WHO ARE WOMEN, INDIGENOUS, RACIALIZED, OR MEMBERS OF THE 2SLGBTQI+ COMMUNITY. WE ARE DETERMINED TO PROVIDE SUPPORT TO VETERANS WHO MAY BE HESITANT TO REACH OUT FOR HELP BY PROVIDING A SAFE WAY TO TAKE THE FIRST STEP TOWARD WELLNESS. NO TOPICS ARE OFF THE TABLE. THE BURNS WAY IS NOT A CRISIS SERVICE, BUT PEER ADVOCATES ARE ABLE TO REFER TO RESOURCES IF NECESSARY.
