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.
