National Resource Directory Consolidates Resource Information

February 11, 2011 - Many veterans in need of help do not get the assistance they need. Usually it is either because they don't know the help they need exists, or they don't want to seek out help because of the stigma attached to their condition. An online directory seeks to completely eliminate the first reason for not getting help.

The information is out there, it is just a matter of knowing what to look for and where to look. Those problems have been largely done away with through the launching of a new website. The National Resource Directory supplies a straight link for which wounded warriors and their family members can access thousands upon thousands of helpful resources at both a state and national level.

This "one-stop-shop" for national resources provides information on:

• Physical and mental recovery;
• Rehabilitation;
• Benefits and compensation;
• Education and training;
• Employment;
• Caregiver support;
• Medical Care;
• Housing;
• Travel; and
• Reintegration into their community.

More than just a massive resource for critical information, the National Resource Directory is very user friendly, which is the result of a significant and extensive effort in designing navigation tools. Users can search for information by topic or location whether they are looking for a local program or a major Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) undertaking. As new services, initiatives, and programs are developed, they are added to the Directory's database.

The Directory is an ever-evolving creature continually shaped by its traffic. As such, the Directory allows users the opportunity to supply feedback.
