One hundred and fifty years ago today, President Lincoln signed a law establishing the first federal veterans’ facility for disabled Civil War veterans. This facility gave root to the Department of Veterans Affairs’ assistance programs.
Today, the VA offers many benefits and services to eligible veterans and connects our military service men and women with resources across the country. Share this information with a veteran you know, or an organization that helps veterans.

Hello everyone. I just wanted to inform all of you about our great nonprofit, Veterans Moving Forward. We provide Service Dogs to Veterans dealing with mental and/or physical challenges at no cost to the veteran or their family across the country. Through our services, VMF makes a meaningful difference in the lives of disabled veterans by facilitating their recovery and increasing their safety and independence within their homes and communities.
Our training takes two years, from an 8-week-old puppy to a mature service dog, with an average cost of $40,000 per service dog. The current Department of Veteran Affairs’ policy is to provide support dogs only to veterans with visual or hearing impairment, not dealing with mental challenges. Therefore we need donations to support our important mission.
A year ago, VMF placed Service Dog “Zamp” with Jim “Doc” Anderson, an Air Force veteran who suffered severely with PTSD and who attempted suicide three times. Jim served as a mass casualty officer. SD Zamp is named in honor and memory of Marine legend Louis Zamperini.
Jim says that having SD Zamp has been a life-altering experience. His entire attitude has changed providing him with a totally different outlook on life. They’re together 24/7, attending events, poker and bridge games at the Clubhouse. During Jim’s recent back surgery, SD Zamp rode in the ambulance and stayed in the hospital for four days.
Jim states that “Zamp is an incredibly special Service Dog and everyone who has meet him agrees – that he is special. Since he came into my life full-time, he has made a major difference in my life as witnessed by my wife, therapists, and psychiatrists all who agree that they have seen a change in me that they have not seen in the 20+ years that I have been in counseling. But all that has changed since Zamp entered my life. He is a stabilizing force in my life.”
Many other veterans like Jim need our help. Your donation and hopefully, becoming a monthly supporter, will ensure that we are able to support these veterans across the country.
For more information or to make that tax-deductible donation, please visit the Veterans Moving Forward website: www.vetsfwd.org. Also check out our Facebook page at https://lnkd.in/gdnnycr. And feel free to contact me at any time. Email: gsumner@vetsfwd.org. C: 703-595-8800. We would greatly appreciate having yours and your business’s support for our Service Dogs for Veteran Programs.

Brock Young• FollowingMil-to-Fed Success Story | #Veterati Mentor | #DoDSkillBridge Alum | #OneMoreVeteranHired3d • 3 days ago
Veterans Employment Opportunity Act of 1998 (VEOA): What it is NOT is more important than what it IS.
Many transitioning Service Members are eligible for several special hiring authorities (SHA). Each one is unique, and it’s important to know what they are used for, as well as what their limitations are.
One SHA I have found people don’t truly understand is the VEOA.
The USAJobs definition of the VEOA is: “Service personnel separated after three or more years of continuous active service performed under honorable conditions, are eligible to apply to positions that otherwise may have only been available to current competitive service employees. In VEOA appointments, preference eligibles and Veterans are not given preference, but they are allowed to compete for job opportunities that are not offered to other external candidates.” (https://lnkd.in/gSDWtZ87
)
Okay, but what does that MEAN! For one, it means that even though active-duty Service Members aren’t technically considered “federal employees,” it allows them to compete for jobs that are only open to current or previous employees. On USAJobs, those are the jobs with the symbol below.
Some expectation management here; using the VEOA also typically means your resume will be referred, no matter what. Good, right? Not always.
Like many vets, seeing my resume “referred” was cool, but it also meant nothing told me my resume wasn’t anywhere near what the agency and HR professionals were looking for. So I kept applying and getting referred, and applying and getting referred, and applying and getting referred… and applying and getting referred…
I finally took the time to dig into my resume, take some webinars, talk to some mentors and HR professionals, and it was only THEN that I realized that the VEOA was nothing more than something that allowed me to compete with current/former federal employees.
It didn’t offer me any preference (beyond allowing me to compete) or entitle me to a job (which of course is right there in the VEOA verbiage on OPM’s site).
Using the VEOA still requires your resume to be on point, meet all of the qualifications required by the announcement and supplemental questionnaire, AND needs to show that you are the best candidate for the position. It is a competition after all.
So for those who keep getting referred (and have been using the VEOA), but haven’t been getting the interviews, this might be why.
Find a mentor. Have someone take a look at your resume, and don’t assume just because you’ve been getting referred, your resume is anywhere near the quality it needs to be to get you hired.

The Steven A. Cohen Military Family Clinic at NYU Langone Medical Center provides free and confidential individual, couples, family, and group therapy for veterans and their family members regardless of discharge status, combat exposure, or era served. We provide treatment for posttraumatic stress, depression, anxiety, readjustment difficulties, relationship problems, along with a variety of other challenges military families may experience. Additional services include treatment for alcohol and substance use as well as assessment and treatment of traumatic brain injury. Our highly skilled clinicians have deep appreciation for and sensitivity to the military culture and its unique strengths and challenges and are passionate about helping veterans and military families. The treatment we provide is flexible and integrative and is rooted in evidence-based principles.
Interested individuals can call our intake line at (855) 698-4677 or e-mail us at: militaryfamilyclinic@nyumc.org.
Visit our website at: http://nyulangone.org/locations/steven-a-cohen-military-family-clinic
Not located in the NYC area? No problem! Our services are available via our telemental health program to veterans/reservists/National Guard/families anywhere in NY state or CT!
Telemedicine
Telemental Health Program at the MFC provides mental health care to veterans, service members (from any era and with any discharge status), and their families in every part of New York State who are unable to regularly commute to therapy. Services are provided via computer or tablet and can be done in the privacy of one’s home.
TBI Program
Approximately 300,000 veterans sustained a TBI as a result of serving in the recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan; 57% were not evaluated or treated for TBI. Our TBI Program, funded by NYC City Council, is offering services to fill this gap in treatment. The service offers neuropsychological evaluations, which help us to understand the relationship between brain and behavior. These evaluations offer in-depth assessment of memory, thinking visually/verbally, attention, problem solving, planning and mood. The TBI Program also offers cognitive training, to develop strategies to work around cognitive difficulties. The training consists of 10 weekly meetings for 1-2 hours with a neuropsychologist to learn problem solving, organizational strategies and memory and attention techniques. The program also gives the opportunity to learn about how mood, sleep, and headaches can affect cognitive functioning, and strategies to work on these domains. The individualized treatment caters to specific challenges and strengths of each veteran, guided by the neuropsychological assessment.
Child/Family Program
Military children are faced with unique stressors related to relocation, parental separation, family reunification, and reintegration. These stressors may result in disrupted relationships, behavioral problems, and academic difficulties. Many children struggle to adjust to their parent’s combat injury (visible or invisible) or deal with a parent’s death. The MFC Child and Family Program provides individual child therapy, parent-child therapy, family therapy, social skills groups for children, and parenting support workshops. Expressive arts, games, and play are central components used to address and process concerns that impact the whole family. These services are offered to veterans and current service members as well as families of the fallen.
Couples Therapy
MFC provides support to couples experiencing relational difficulties, including conflict, sense of disconnection, problems with communication, and others. Although the majority of military families are strong and resilient, stress related to military service may affect intimate relationships, at times leading to serious problems such as domestic violence and divorce. Using Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, our clinicians are here to help couples restore a sense of connection, safety, and intimacy between the partners. Couples do not have to be legally married to qualify for services.
ADHD Assessments
We provide adult ADHD assessment and treatment for veterans and their families. Adult ADHD affects approximately 5% of our nation’s veterans. It can interfere with one’s ability to reach their goals in academics, their job, and even their family life. If you are interested in learning more about our adult ADHD assessment and treatment options call Dr. Spray at 646-754-4822.
Dual Diagnosis Program
Our Welcome Back Veterans Dual Diagnosis Program, a program made possible by the McCormick Foundation and Major League Baseball, offers flexible, integrative care for veterans, service members, and their family members struggling with addiction and comorbid mental health problems. Our harm reduction approach provides flexibility in setting treatment plans and goals, which may vary between patients. Goals may include reduced harm associated with use to abstinence, and treatment may include individual therapy, group therapy, and medication management. The option of offering family and couples therapy in the context of dual diagnoses treatment offers patients more comprehensive care and is aligned with research and clinical notions of the importance of attachment and relationships in supporting recovery.

NYU is offering free psychiatric care to military veterans, regardless of discharge type or era served. In addition to many other types of care, we also perform family therapy.
Secondly, we are also conducting a massive study on PTSD and traumatic brain injury. The study pays up to $530, and we need OIF and OEF era veterans (they do not necessarily have to have been deployed, as we need non-deployed personnel for our control group). People interested in the study can call 877-698-3299. Feel free to forward these handouts around. If you need anything else, don’t hesitate to ask. I’ve attached our website as well.
