Military and Veterans Initiative

The crisis facing the nation in meeting the physical and mental health needs of the 1.8 million members of the Armed Forces having served in Iraq and Afghanistan is overwhelming and continues to grow. Thousands of injured military service members are returning home with hopes of successfully transitioning to civilian life. Many communities are not equipped to respond appropriately to their unique needs, nor are they aware of how to best work with military and veterans systems in the process.

Easter Seals' Military and Veterans Initiative responds to this call for action. As the largest provider of disability-related services to individuals with disabilities and their families, Easter Seals is positioned to offer military and veterans systems of care with viable options to support and augment current reintegration efforts.

	The Ability Advantage: One Veteran. One Family. One Community. America’s wounded warriors returning from duty need strong, supportive responses from their communities to help with reintegration. Easter Seals provides veterans with disabilities and their families services and supports that strengthen and stabilize as they transition to civilian status and the civilian workforce. Easter Seals creates solid partnerships; ones that strengthen military families and communities across the United States --  one person, one family, and one community at a time.
	Services for Military and Veterans' Communities In communities nationwide, Easter Seals is being asked to help meet the needs of America's military service members and veterans with disabilities and their families. Our goal is to promote their successes by helping them attain their personal and family goals while becoming full participants within their own communities.
	Camping and Recreation Easter Seals has significant expertise in providing therapeutic recreation and camping services, and are tailoring these accessible programs and facilities to meet the needs of veterans with disabilities and their families.
