Volunteer Opportunity Battle Buddy Program Builds Connection for Veterans BY: CHERISH THOMSON & TERRY PARSLEY Do you have time to “reach out and touch someone,” to help a Veteran in your community? The Sheridan VA Battle Buddy Caller Program may be perfect for you. The new program pairs volunteers with homebound veterans of similar interests through simple, ongoing phone or video contact. Veterans, as well as caregivers, can benefit from the power of connection and friendship that come through a veteran being paired with a battle buddy. What is a “battle buddy”? The term “battle buddy” comes from a practice of the U.S. Army, in which two soldiers were assigned to assist one another—be a “buddy”— both in and out of combat. Right now, the Sheridan VA is seeking volunteers to offer this buddy system to assist with social connections for veterans receiving VA care at home. Veterans who are part of this program have chosen to sign up—they want to hear from you. Connecting is important for overall health at any time, but during this time of increased social isolation a program like this one can make that possible. “The Battle Buddy Program allows our isolated Veterans the precious chance to positively interact with someone, escaping from an inward focus on one’s own disability and limitation,” says Curt Merriam, a social worker with the VA’s Caregiver Support Program. “This regular interaction also provides stimulation for the Veteran and can ease strain on the caregiver.” As a Battle Buddy volunteer, you will play an important role as part of a network of family, friends, social service/health professionals, and other How do you start? Training is the first step. individuals who provide comfort and assistance to All volunteers receive training to learn how to start homebound veterans.
