Buddy Check — Lincoln

Buddy Check is a social gathering held on the 22nd of every month, 6:00 to 8:00 PM CT, at the Antelope Park Enclosed Shelter by the Veterans Memorial Garden entrance. The Nebraska Department of Veterans' Affairs runs Buddy Checks across the state with one purpose: reducing and eliminating Veteran suicide, by making sure nobody is left checking in on themselves alone. No registration and no cost — turn up. Questions to ndva@nebraska.gov, or find the Nebraska Buddy Check group on Facebook. If you are in crisis, dial 988 then press 1 for the Veterans Crisis Line.
