Each day, 17 veterans die by suicide, according to the company, amid an ongoing mental health crisis across the country. Fox News Digital spoke to Reflex AI co-founders Sam Dorison and John Callery in an interview about how HomeTeam works. San Diego-based Callery described HomeTeam as a digital training tool that equips veterans with the skills and confidence to support their fellow vets through mental health challenges.
People know the VA has mental health services,' New York-based Dorison said. 'What they don't know is, ‘How can I be part of the solution for my friend that I care about in a unique peer-support context?’' HomeTeam's mental health training program uses AI simulation, Callery pointed out. After completing a module, trainees are prompted to test their skills by answering quizzes and interacting with an AI-powered chatbot named Blake.
