AboutFace-USA, Inc.

Description

AboutFace provides a stable and safe family-friendly environment, a refuge within the community where veterans and like-minded people can meet, learn, and share experiences. The Program provides a continuous opportunity for the mingling of returning veterans with other veterans, their family members, and non-veterans through patriotic events and other activities. Veterans can reintegrate into society and experience a sense of belonging.

AboutFace programs provide spiritual enrichment, employment, and education outreach programs; offer VA benefits assistance; wellness and financial training; and offer veteran family transition support and reintegration programs, as well as a jail diversion mentoring program. Our goal is to reduce or eliminate the pain and suffering our returning veterans and their families endure upon reintegration into civilian life.

The AboutFace program is destined to be a national community faith-based program with centers located in every state. Beginning with family programs prior to release from active duty that prepares families for the reality of PTS, AboutFace will begin transition training even before the veteran returns home. Before being discharged, parallel training for the service member will prepare them for the transition back into society.
