Mental health.
The first moderated peer-support room on StandPost. Read the room open — two pinned welcome threads and three starter prompts always render at the top. Posting requires you to acknowledge the house rules; flagging requires a signed-in member; the Veterans Crisis Line (988, then press 1) sits one tap above the composer at all times.
If this is an emergency, reach the Veterans Crisis Line right now.
Call or text 988, then press 1 for the Veterans Crisis Line. Chat at veteranscrisisline.net. The room never replaces this handoff.
What the room replaces
The failure modes of the open veteran Facebook groups — bad clinical advice, recruiter spam, day-of crisis comments — are treated as a specification here, not a vibe statement. Every escalation is logged. Every moderator action is reviewable.
What counts as a flag
Anything that recruits inside the room, improvises clinical advice, or suggests immediate danger. Use the flag button on the offending post — moderators see it within a business day and the thread stays readable while they resolve it.
Crisis handoff, every time
A post that suggests active self-harm routes to the Veterans Crisis Line, not into a thread. The line above the composer is the same in every room, every state.
You can read the room without signing in. Posting requires acknowledging every house rule.
