Veterans returning home often face many challenges, ranging from the emotional trauma of battlefield experiences to physical disabilities. Fortunately, vets do have rehabilitation resources available to them to focus on their particular needs.
Sometimes, just finding employment in civilian life can pose difficulties for vets adjusting to their new environments. No matter the issues or worries, veterans can rest assured there are programs available to ease the transition process.
Here are seven rehabilitation resources for veterans:
1. Vocational rehab — The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) offers vocational rehabilitation and employment services to assist with job training, coaching for job seeking skills, starting a business, and independent living services for the severely disabled. Information is provided on the VA benefits web page.
