Network of Care Web Site to Launch in CA
May 21 2009
On Friday, May 22, 2009 Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger will launch a revolutionary site he calls “our NETWORK OF CARE.” Network of Care is a state of the art website that provides a direct link between California veterans in need of services and the specific organizations that can help them and their families.
With a click of a mouse, veterans can find immediate crisis counseling, emergency help with housing and jobs specifically for veterans. WWW.VETS.NETWORKOFCARE.ORG is a critical new bridge between the thousands of providers who are there to serve returning soldiers and their loved ones.
“There are a lot of great services available but the people we are trying to serve don’t know about us. It was clear to me immediately that NETWORK OF CARE is the tool that we need throughout the country where in one spot all organizations can come together to collaborate, and veterans and family members can go to understand what is available in their specific communities,” says Barbara Romberg, Founder of Give an Hour, a provider of mental health services to veterans.
California is the second state to launch Network of Care for Veterans & Service Members. Maryland launched a site for their veterans in March 2009.
For the first time, veterans, service members, their families and service providers have one comprehensive website to find vital information:
- mental and physical health counselors specifically trained to counsel returning soldiers
- College and job training programs and links to jobs in their field
- Housing, shelter and financial services.
