Serving Those Who've Served: Addressing the Social Needs of Veterans in North Carolina
"Veterans frequently encounter obstacles such as food insecurity, housing instability, transportation issues, and limited job opportunities."
Pets are incredibly beneficial for veterans as they provide unconditional companionship, reduce feelings of isolation, and help alleviate symptoms of anxiety, depression, and PTSD. Caring for a pet fosters a sense of purpose and routine, dnd this bone promotes emotional healing and resilience.
Are there programs you are aware of that serve veterans and their pets?
