For all too many veterans, returning from military service means coping with symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder is difficult.
We are here to help.
We provide resources to military veterans for healing of trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), financial planning, health and wellness, to help veterans readjust in their civilian life.

New Beginnings Transitional Services is a non-profit organization that offers financial support to the military community to relieve homelessness and food insecurity.

Sometimes we feel helpless when it comes to acknowledging our thanks to the men and women in the armed services that have served in combat to protect our country.
We might even wonder what we can do to give our support to these troops, or how we can help them out.
One thing the government and veterans would suggest is to help find a way to end the long-term effects of war on the minds of soldiers.
One way to do this is to provide more mental health professionals to help with the issues service members deal with every day.

Have you ever experienced this?

Nearly 18 million veterans are living in the US, and more than 75 percent of them are seniors over the age of 65.
One important way to give these heroes the appreciation, support, and respect they deserve is to offer the understanding and specialized care they need to enjoy a high quality of life and, ultimately, to experience a meaningful, peaceful end of life with comfort, independence, and dignity.

Female gender has also been implicated as a potential risk factor for PTSD in veterans. Many factors may account for these findings, including a history of military or civilian sexual assault, which may increase a woman’s risk for PTSD.
According to one study, during 2002–2003, approximately 22% of screened female veterans reported military sexual trauma (MST), a term adopted by the VA to refer to sexual assault or repeated threatening sexual harassment that occurred while the veteran was in the military.

Despite numerous studies, according to Dr. Schnurr, whether PTSD is a greater risk to female veterans than male veterans is still largely unknown.
However, she says that as women continue to play more active roles in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and are increasingly exposed to combat situations, their likelihood of experiencing PTSD rises.

Our vets have risked their lives in combat to protect the citizens of the US. In many ways, we owe our lives to them and should always lend a helping hand.
The number of vets without shelter is on the decline which shows promise, but there are still states where it’s on the rise. In short, although we’re close to getting veterans and the homeless off the streets for good, there’s still a lot of work left to be done.

Sunny California is sitting at the top of the list with nearly 11,000 veterans currently living without any shelter.
The exact number in 2019 was 10,980, which is nearly 5 times more than the second state on the list. California also has the highest number of homeless people in the US per state.
