A new program offered by Easter Seals of Maine, in partnership with the VA Office of Rural Health, the Maine Department of Labor and the Maine Bureau of Veterans Affairs, will assist Maine Veterans who have separated from military service in the past two years.
The goal of the program is to assist recently separated veterans and their families as they make the shift from full-time military service to full-time civilian life.
Available through this free special program are: support and assistance in finding (or keeping) a job in Maine, such as resume-writing support, transportation, vehicle repair, tools, uniforms, and work footwear. Additional benefits are guidance in applying for VA benefits, coordination of health care and veterans’ benefits, support in accessing timely, high-quality medical and mental health services, and information on other helpful community resources.
Veterans who have separated from service in the past two years are encouraged to call one of Easter Seals Maine’s program coordinators at (207) 828-0754, extension 1004, or visit eastersealsme.org.
