Washington, D.C., Oct. 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DAV (Disabled American Veterans), the nation’s leading nonprofit supporting injured and ill veterans, and REGIMENT, the largest veteran gaming community, are partnering to empower veterans through the therapeutic and community-building power of gaming.
This partnership combines DAV's more than a century of experience advocating for veterans with REGIMENT's established presence and authenticity within the military veteran digital gaming community. The goal is to ensure no veteran is left behind in the digital age while fostering a sense of purpose, camaraderie and support through online gaming.
Through this partnership, veterans and their families will have access to holistic support, combining REGIMENT's focus on mental health and social connection through gaming with DAV’s critical benefits assistance and advocacy.
The partnership also aims to raise awareness about the benefits of gaming for mental health and educate the veteran community on the full scope of services offered by DAV. Gaming, when used intentionally, can be a powerful tool for both mental and physical rehabilitation. It can help improve cognitive function and motor skills, as well as provide a positive outlet for stress and reduce symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety and depression.
“We want veterans in all communities — including those online — to know support is available to them,”
DAV CEO Barry Jesinoski said. “This initiative will provide a platform where all veterans, regardless of their illness, injury or perceived limitations, can find camaraderie, help and connect with the benefits they’ve rightfully earned because of their service.”
“Gaming is more than just a pastime for us — it's a critical bridge back to community and purpose,” REGIMENT founder and CEO Christopher Earl said. “This collaboration with DAV is vital because it ensures we're not just connecting veterans to each other, but also to the life-changing resources they earned. It’s about building a community where everyone feels understood and has a direct path to the support they need to thrive."
