New Hampshire’s service members and veterans have all pledged to put their life on the line for our nation.
Military life involves many sacrifices that can create immediate and long-term challenges for veterans and their families. Easter Seals Military & Veterans Care coordinators stand ready when a service member, veteran or military family encounters problems with relationships, mental and physical health, substance abuse, employment, housing, finances, navigating the VA and community support service systems, or any other issue.
Easter Seals New Hampshire offers care coordination to veterans of all eras –
from World War II veterans to those who are currently serving. Services are free, confidential and provided locally – in the veteran’s home or other convenient location.
Care coordinators are master’s-level community caseworkers with extensive training in military culture. Their job is to do whatever it takes to help service members, veterans and their families thrive. Care coordinators help those in crisis situations, and are also available to help families plan ahead and avoid problems when facing life changes and challenges.
