4/8/13 - An event this weekend aims to reach as many female veterans and women in the military as possible and make a difference in their lives. Women Supporting Women Veterans is a non-profit organization that will host its 2nd âDay of Caringâ. The event is designed to help women who have served or are currently serving connect with resources, develop resumes and learn about the benefits and services theyâre eligible for. Executive Director Arlene Callaghan says there are a number of unique obstacles facing women veterans and their role as a wife and mother is often challenged when they return home. Callaghan says this yearâs program puts additional focus on mental health and since filing claims can be difficult, she says theyâll have a representative from the Veterans Administration doing those on site. This year's guest speaker is also a female veteran who will share her personal story. The Day of Caring is free to all female veterans as well as those still in active duty. Pre-registration is recommended but not required and lunch and childcare is provided. It will run from 9am until 4pm this Saturday, April 13th at the Hartland Educational Support Service Center on M-59. Details can be found through the link below. (JM)
