Making sure our work benefits Veterans is why we do what we do, but we can't be top-down about it. To be truly successful, we need Veterans' engagement. Hear directly from one Vet what it means to have a seat at the table in VA research. @VAResearch

In order to create systemic change, we need more than small projects.

#SocialMovement has huge potential for creating systemic change.

Imagine what would happen if we leveraged #SocialMovement & #ImpSci?

Researchers and implementers have significant opportunities to integrate advocacy into their implementation endeavors.

This framework by @Eval_Innovation offers valuable insights into incorporating advocacy into your work.

The research-practice gap is not just be a communication issue, but also a problem with the way research is produced and reviewed.

This paper suggests we flip the script and embrace participatory approaches for a more relevant and impactful research!

I wonder if 211 @UnitedWay could work like 988, press 1 for Veterans and get connected to something like https://t.co/NPbSUlXJlr but a call center with navigators. Feels like there are so many sites and groups trying to fill that gap for their communities across the country.

Surgeon general lays out framework to tackle loneliness and 'mend the social fabric of our nation' - love this effort in social connection - a great prevention effort https://t.co/pvT5Fr5nsp

Research has shown that forgiveness is linked to reduction of anxiety, depression and major psychiatric disorders, as well as fewer physical health symptoms and lower mortality rates. If forgiving others can do all that, imagine what forgiving yourself could do. #StopSuicide
