Loralee Reach 245 Report post Posted November 11, 2010 VVi/The CAV Joint Veteran Support Programs VeteranVoice.info and The CAV Motorcycle Units have developed a joint program in aid to veterans in need. The programs are developed for the Internet environment, including user-friendly database access and data search capability. This joint program includes Veteran Aid program and Professional Services programs: Veteran Aid Program Veteran Aide is an outreach program that veterans-in-need can contact other volunteer veterans. Veterans-in-need will be able to view a database, select a volunteer veteran that may have had similar experience, disability, or wound, either in the same locality or far across the country. The idea is to assist the veteran-in-need in getting the help they may require, including: Directing the veteran-in-need to the proper approving authorities. Directing the veteran-in-need to the appropriate professional options. Being there as listening support for the veteran-in-need. Professional Services Program Professional Services lists services recommended by other veterans: Medical Professional Services, includes veteran friendly medical services of all natures, physical to mental health issues, rehab, follow-up, etc. Legal Services, for those veterans that require legal representation in challenging VAC determinations, submitting claims against the Federal Government, ensuring your service-related injuries and wounds are justifiably compensated, etc. Job Opportunities, includes links to specific job search forms, as well as job positions that are available. To make these programs work, there is a need for many veterans to come forward and volunteer their own services and to supply noted services. Remember, you are not a professional. You cannot give professional advise, be it medical or legal. However, you can be there assist your less fortunate veteran peers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
