Confidential Supportive Services for Military Service Personnel
The Women’s Center has gone green this year. No, it’s not the type of green that we have all been hearing about that helps save our planet, it’s the type of green that’s fighting to save our lives and gives us freedom. The Women’s Center has established a comprehensive military outreach program which provides staff and services to assist military personnel and/or their families to meet the unique needs of this brave group of citizens. This outreach program provides the opportunity to work within the military and their systems but also to provide assistance outside the same structure to ensure confidentiality when needed.
A Military Case Specialist meets with clients to assess their needs and coordinate services. Our case specialist is familiar with military rules and regulations and can assist the soldier and/or family with proper procedures and benefits.
Direct services may include:
- Counseling and therapy – individual, family, couples, and children,
- Career guidance for those rebuilding their lives after discharge, divorce, or death,
- Financial assistance with relocation or emergency shelter.
- Scholarships for those returning to school or seeking higher education, or
- Microloans to assist in starting a new business.
Our military personnel face many unique and challenging matters which extend to their families as well. Through our services at the Women’s Center they have a safe place to heal. The men and women of our armed forces have pledged to protect and defend the freedoms upon which our country was built. Through the course of this service, these brave and committed men and women face a multitude of problems, which we will address through special programs.
