Strengthening community connection at scale

Televeda's fully managed model delivers structured social engagement and peer-to-peer programming to isolated, aging, and underserved populations, in-person, remotely, and in-home. Agencies gain a trusted implementation partner without adding staff.

From state aging agencies and tribal governments to VA medical centers and public health departments, Televeda operates as an extension of your program infrastructure: measurable, accountable, and built for communities that are hardest to reach.

Digital inclusion
Fully Managed Implementation

Built for the outcomes that matter to public agencies

From accountability metrics to constituent trust, Televeda's programs are designed around what government partners need to demonstrate to funders, constituents, and communities.

Culturally responsive outreach

We engage rural, aging, and underserved populations through trusted, culturally responsive programs delivered within their community, in-home, in-person, and remotely. No downloads required, no digital literacy barriers.

Demonstrate impact

Agencies gain clear data reporting and outcomes metrics to demonstrate ROI, effectiveness, and strategic priorities. This supports accountability to oversight bodies and justification for continued or expanded funding.

Strengthen public trust

Through culturally competent, accessible programs and proven community results, Televeda helps agencies improve constituent satisfaction, reduce institutional distrust, and demonstrate genuine community investment.

First-place winner. VA Mission Daybreak.

Televeda's Hero's Story Talking Circles are the first culturally appropriate, evidence-informed peer-to-peer mental health intervention designed specifically for American Indian, Alaska Native, and BIPOC veterans, the group that serves at five times the national rate and faces the highest PTSD and suicide risk of any veteran population.

The program merges traditional healing practices of storytelling with evidence-based peer support and is delivered through Televeda's HIPAA-compliant platform, accessible to veterans in rural and tribal communities who cannot travel to a VA facility.

100% of participants reported feeling happier and more connected
96% reported greater overall well-being

2,100+ AIAN veterans engaged across 5 states

Veteran program

From state health plans to tribal nations

Televeda's work is embedded in state-level health improvement frameworks, Medicaid procurement responses, and tribal government partnerships. Our programs map directly to priority areas in AzHIP, ALTCS/AHCCCS requirements, and VA innovation pipelines.

The Roger That program, developed with the Arizona Department of Veterans' Services, addresses digital access as a prerequisite to care, providing connectivity and device support so veterans on tribal lands can reach telehealth, Talking Circles, and VA benefit counselors virtually.

From the Televeda team

Military and Veterans

Peer Connection Is a Readiness Issue. It's Time the Military Treated It That Way.

Social disconnection isn't a soft outcome. It's a performance and retention problem with measurable downstream costs. Most behavioral health interventions activate too late. What's needed is upstream peer infrastructure.

Suicide Prevention

Veterans Are Still Dying by Suicide. Peer Connection Infrastructure Is Part of the Solution.

17 veterans die by suicide every day. The VA has invested in clinical care, but the veterans at greatest risk are the ones who never access VA care at all. The gap is one of reach, not quality.
