In-Person Peer Support Group for all Veterans

Keegan Merritt and Michael Brooks lead the in-person peer support group at the AFU Community Center, providing veterans a welcoming space to connect, share, and build resilience. Keegan, a Veteran Peer Counselor at AboutFace-USA, draws on his service in the U.S. Army and his work with the Georgia Department of Public Safety to guide veterans through post-service adjustment and mental health challenges, specializing in crisis intervention. Michael, a Georgia Law Enforcement Officer for nearly 20 years and an ICISF-certified PEER, offers deep expertise in suicide prevention, critical incident response, and peer support for both law enforcement and military personnel. His combat service in Operation Iraqi Freedom, combined with his law enforcement career, gives him unique insight into the challenges veterans face. Together, they provide compassionate, experienced guidance to those navigating life after service.
