Veterans Services

VNRC does three things very well. First, we produce advocacy videos in order to spotlight injustices, problems and solutions that face veterans that have the invisible wounds that we deal with. Second, we provide a Resources section on our web site, among other information, that makes it easier for the unconnected veteran to find help for special issues. Third, we give individual financial assistance where it is warranted, no other funding sources are available, and VNRC has the available cash.

Education on PTSD, MST, TBI, Personality Disorder

Veterans with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Military Sexual Trauma (MST) and Personality Disorder do not immediately stand out in a crowd. It is their behaviors and invisible internal dynamics that can make them a threat to themselves as well as disruptive to their own families and friends. Because the number of combat veterans in the US is quite low, the general public and policy makers are often unaware of how these disorders work and what is needed to integrate these war injured back into society. We work through social media, our web site and speaking engagements and opportunities to maintain and develop visibility for these veterans collectively.
