VSO

VA, VFW and Walgreens will work together to reach Veterans in communities across the country with targeted initiatives to address mental health awareness and treatment, Veteran suicide prevention and opioid overdose education.

It will take us all – VA, DoD, for-profit, philanthropy – working together toward a common goal – to heal the invisible wounds of war.

We invited Bill Rausch to join us on the podcast and he enthusiastically agreed. We had a very informative and fun conversation regarding his service, Got Your 6, the Veteran space, collaboration among organizations, a conflict of guilt some veterans have, and even beards.

This Week at VA episode 17 features Marine Corps Veteran Joe Chenelly. Joe currently serves as the National Executive Director for AMVETS.

While you may not know Bill Hale, you probably have someone like him in your community – someone who gives a Vet a ride to the hospital, or goes around collecting clothes for the next homeless stand-down event.

VA, Student Veterans of America, National Student Clearinghouse collaborate to better track data

To provide services that Veterans need, VA collaborates with Non-Governmental Organizations. These partnerships especially aid in community reintegration.

The Center for a New American Security released a report that focuses on the role of the private-sector in the long-term care of Veteran populations.
