Military Veteran Peer Network operates statewide under the Texas Veterans Commission and is supervised locally by the Denton County MHMR Center. Peer support includes one-on-one assistance for suicide prevention, substance abuse and application for veterans’ benefits alongside groups like "Angel Wives" for surviving spouses. There’s also a volunteer force that handles service projects such as helping veterans move, painting RVs, picking up debris, and repairing fences.
