Faith-Based Organizations (FBOs) Can Be a Trusted Source of Assistance - FBOs not only attend to veterans' spiritual needs, but also, as a group, address many other areas of veteran health and wellness.
- Veterans may look to FBOs for support because they offer privacy and confidentiality, two features that may be especially critical when a potential stigma is involved.
- Some FBOs have fostered a reputation as safe havens for veterans, ones that provide supportive, judgment-free environments.
- FBOs are already interacting with other organizations in the web of reintegration support, including government entities, private nonprofits, and one another.
But These Organizations Face Challenges - FBOs' work with veterans is sometimes limited by insufficient connections with chaplains working in different settings and with others in the web of support.
- Additional barriers FBOs face include resource and capacity constraints, lack of awareness or experience with veterans, and characteristics of veterans themselves.
- Some FBOs do not measure their impact, which can hinder their ability to serve veterans most effectively and efficiently.
- Partnerships may be necessary to fully realize FBO capacity to support veterans and to evaluate the effectiveness of such support.

摘要 |
- Help FBOs learn more about the veterans in their midst and how to help them most effectively. The authors interviewed several organizations that are ramping up efforts to do this, but the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and Veterans Service Organizations (VSOs) can assist on this front as well.
- Government agencies, VSOs, and policymakers should acknowledge FBOs as a source of reintegration support for veterans, particularly for moral injury.
- Government agencies and others that facilitate support should ensure FBOs are well integrated into veterans' resource directories, especially more comprehensive compendiums, such as the federally sponsored National Resource Directory.
- Connect chaplains and FBOs at the local level. Community institutions that have chaplains, such as police departments, universities, and hospitals, along with chaplains associations and the VA, can all help to facilitate these linkages.
- Build capacity among FBOs to measure the extent and effectiveness of their support. Organizations that train FBOs to support veterans, as well as those that seek to partner with FBOs, could provide guidance to or even mentor FBOs.
