Communicating with Compassion: Designing AI-Assisted Tools to Strengthen Peer Support for Military and Veteran Spouses

This project aims to improve mental health support for military and veteran spouses by developing ethical AI-based training and tools for social workers and peer support specialists. It combines an online training course, an AI-assisted communication coaching tool, and experimental message testing to enhance supportive communication and increase participation in peer support programs. Ultimately, the project seeks to create scalable, community-informed solutions that strengthen engagement, reduce barriers to care, and improve well-being among an underserved population.
