The nonprofit agency Still Serving Veterans has strengthened their partnership by signing an agreement with the Alabama Department of Rehabilitation Services (ADRS) to maximize their effort to help as many veterans as possible.
In four short years, Still Serving Veterans has helped more than 4,000 wounded veterans and their families.
The global war on terror alone has accumulated more than 37,500 physically wounded soldiers as well as the more than 500,000 suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.
ADRS Commissioner Cary Boswell said, “None of us are going to be able to do this all on our own. None of us have enough resources and people. To me, that’s why it’s so critical we do work together and coordinate these kinds of services for our veterans with disabilities.”
Still Serving Veterans strives to help assist veterans with their rehabilitation, recovery, and reintegration into civilian life. With the ADRS, the joint services are expanding to provide career assistance to veterans and push to increase a higher rate of disabled veterans in the workforce.
