Veterans and service members may turn to alcohol to cope with stress, trouble sleeping, and other challenges. VetChange is a mobile app that can help build skills to reduce or quit drinking and develop healthier coping behaviors.

VetChange was created by the VA’s National Center for PTSD in partnership with VA Boston Healthcare System and Boston University.
