RALEIGH, N.C. - Sept. 3, 2015 - PRLog -- September 1, 2015-Raleigh, NC. Veterans Entering Transition, (https://www.myusvet.org), brought together some of the brightest minds in business to hear the unique stories of not only the organization, but also of the veterans they support. The event, titled “Meet the Leaders of Veterans Entering Transition”, was a sold-out event that filled the local 1705 Prime venue with over 120 attendees.

Those attending included many of the state’s entrepreneurs, authors, and business leaders and consultants. From coping with Post-Traumatic Stress (PTSD) and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) to overcoming employment hurdles, the members of Veterans Entering Transition (V.E.T.) and their supporters described the real-world challenges that they have encountered in transition and how V.E.T. addresses those challenges and eases the transition process. Discussed were the areas that V.E.T. provides assistance in: peer-mentoring, education, career management, legal & financial guidance, benefits, employment, spiritual guidance and health & wellness. All the services provides are at either no cost or reduced cost to the service members and their families.

Sunita Shouse, Executive Director of V.E.T., explained the importance of raising awareness about the issues our service members face. “Our goal is to be coaches, mentors and advocates to help our service members achieve full emotional and professional societal reintegration. Supporting our nation’s heroes is not the nice thing to do. It is the smart thing to do.”
