Catholic Charities Veterans Homelessness Program, National Veterans Creative Arts Festival, Family Caregivers, Disability 101, Ms. Veteran America


Catholic Charities’ Veterans Homelessness program in Yavapai and Coconino counties makes the news at: http://www.catholicsun.org/2013/09/19/over-the-moon-vet-gets-a-second-chance-at-life/

Wow - The National Veterans Creative Arts Festival winners are featured in this slide show: http://www.flickr.com/photos/veteransaffairs/sets/72157635291542430/

Do family caregivers live longer?  You might assume that more stress and demands on time and emotions would damage their health, but check out the report at: http://blog.aarp.org/2013/10/16/sally-abrahms-caregivers-live-longer-oh-no-they-dont-which-is-it/   AARP also offers a free health e-newsletter, if you are interested.

If you or someone you know is disabled, navigating the rules can be difficult.  But here is a helpful site to explain more about how folks on disability might be able to transition to working part- or full-time.  See it at: http://az.db101.org/

The new Ms. Veteran America winner, Staff Sgt. Allaina Guitron, pledges to increase awareness and resources for women Veterans’ homelessness.  The pageant raised $90,000 for Final Salute, a non-profit organization helping women Veterans (http://www.finalsaluteinc.org/)  See her story at: http://www.ketknbc.com/news/good-news/new-ms-veteran-america-is-driven-to-help-homeless
