VETERANS SUPPORT GROUP By Vets For Vets Helping veterans heal from post-traumatic stress disorder. This program helps Veterans learn to manage the vastly different behavior norms of civilians versus military, tone down the effects of the emotional scars and regain some purpose and direction. The Mission: Assist Veterans with the service to civilian transition regardless of how long they have been out. Efforts focus on social reintegration, overcoming physical challenges, addressing exposures and emotional scars to reduce suicidal outcomes & recidivism among Veterans, first responders and their family members.

Thank you to Lori Hoffman, East Region Community Relations Manager UGI Utilities, Inc. and empoyees who came out today to pitch in with planting, splitting, stacking wood, and prep the raised bed gardens at Paul’s House.
