## What is Prevent 22?

Prevent 22 is a peer support app built for veterans, by veterans. Stay connected to your battle buddies through regular check-ins, direct messaging, and small accountability squads. Log how you're really doing with quick mood check-ins and keep an eye on the people who matter most.

Why Prevent 22:
The name reflects the urgent reality that too many veterans are lost every day. Prevent 22 exists to help bridge that gap by making it easy to stay in touch, ask for help, and know someone has your six.

Key features:
- Buddy check-ins with reminders so no one slips through the cracks
- Private 1:1 messaging with your paired buddy
- Small squads (4-6 veterans) for group accountability
- Simple mood and wellness tracking
- Always-on access to the Veterans Crisis Line (988) and crisis resources
- Status indicators that show who needs a hand

Prevent 22 is a nonprofit mission. We are not a replacement for professional care. If you or someone you know is in crisis, dial 988 and press 1, or text 838255.
