Unemployment
Many disabled Veterans are unable to find solid work once they return home. Plus, Veterans who joined the military right after high school often don’t have the education that their peers received, which puts them at the hiring disadvantage.
If you’d like help finding a job and receiving job training, non-profit-groups like Hire Heroes can help you look for a job upon your return. They can be contacted at the headquarters:
13010 Morris Rd, Suite 175, Alpharetta, GA 30004, Main Line, 844.634.1520, Services Inquiries will pay for college education or other job training programs including license tests to get you the career you are seeking. In addition the organization, Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America { IAVA) can help you understand the educational benefits you’re entitled to as a U.S. Veteran. You may also be able to find veteranspecific scholarships that help you complete your education.

Poor Mental Health
Unfortunately, suicide and depression rates remain high among members of the Armed forces. This is part because of the social stigmas attached to seeking mental health treatment, which leads to high rates of untreated PTSD in returning Veterans.
