ADVOCATING FOR WOUNDED WARRIORS AND THEIR FAMILIES

Our Policy and Government Affairs team provides Wounded Warriors and their families a voice. We work with Congress and the Federal government to promote forward-looking policy such as the landmark Caregivers Act of 2010 which was signed into law by President Obama. We are creating, advocating, and lobbying for new legislation that may positively impact a Wounded Warrior's quality of life while keeping our community informed about changes in laws and regulations.

Our work includes fighting for policy and legislative improvements that aid in:

• Closing gaps and eliminating barriers to improved mental health care for warriors, their families, and caregivers;
• Fostering the economic empowerment of Wounded Warriors through policy initiatives to eliminate educational and employment barriers;
• Helping ensure access to optimal, long-term rehabilitative care for severely Wounded Warriors, and needed supports for their caregivers;
• Improving the effectiveness of government programs that were established to help Wounded Warriors and their families transition from active duty to successful community reintegration.
