About Women Veterans Support Services
Established for and by women veterans and women military spouses, the overarching priorities of WVSS include crisis counseling, shelter and economic assistance. Here are some of the unique problems affecting our fellow women warriors that must be addressed:
- veterans who are single mothers needing employment, food, and healthcare for themselves and their children
- childcare and child counseling for children of returning women veterans or deployed women military
- homeless women veterans with or without children who need transitional and affordable housing
- women veterans needing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) counseling
- domestic violence victims in need of immediate shelter
- victims of military sexual trauma needing counseling
- women veterans suffering traumatic brain injury and needing treatment
- women vets needing assistance securing existing VA benefits for which they qualify.
