Women Veterans are often an invisible population.

women veterans interviewTheir experiences transitioning from the military to civilian life are quite often different than the male Veterans.

Women often do not identify as Veterans

Women Veterans often do not seek services as soon as they are needed. When they do seek services, they need support immediately.

Few services are available specifically for women and especially for women with children.

Women Veterans sometimes experience an intense lack of trust in others and in dealing with support agencies. For this reason, it is critical to obtain contact details at the first meeting so that follow-up is possible.
