Veterans Intervention Scenarios

In 2005, a family friend by the name of Randy Birdsong was a patient at Audie L. Murphy Memorial VA Hospital located in San Antonio, Texas. The Veteran Affairs (VA) medical staff was performing surgery on his abdomen. After the surgery, he was notified that there was insufficient space to accommodate his continued care. The V.A. advised him to keep his wound clean with a fresh roll of gauze, and sent him on his merry way. A few days later, Randy was back at the V.A. hospital with a noticeable infection taken place in his abdominal region.

The VA needs to change the way it deals with Veterans and their bout with homelessness, consistent and worthwhile employment, and mental

My essay this evening will be about the organization called the Veteran Affairs. This is a federally funded agency whose sole purpose is to take care of the physical, mental and emotional needs of veterans and veterans families. The VA is promoting positive change in the dynamics of how veterans are viewed to outsiders when they see a homeless person or someone with mental issues. There is a program that is used by the VA called Function QUERI (Wang, Virginia, 2018, Vol 13) which stands for Optimizing Function and Independence VA Quality Enhancement Research Initiative program and it partners with clinical leaders, veterans and volunteers to evaluate evidence based clinical programs and utilize volunteers and staff to assist veterans who

Thank you Veterans Veterans do a lot for us by defending our country and our home. We thank them by having a full day dedicated to our veterans. Three reasons that I think veterans should be thanked for are; going out to defend our country when no ones else does, I also want to thank you for demonstrating a great work ethic and doing all of this work for people you don’t even know. The first thing I want to thank you for was for defending our country.

How many people have been over seas to protect our country and saw the devastation that war can hold in person? Many people think about this question and wonder. A good majority of people have regular good paying jobs. Still many people dislike the fact of working for a business or office setting. Some people have been through the dark side and back.

You left your family and friends into a bloody war you could of died but you didn’t mind. You took your life for mine. You made things in life better then if you didn’t go into the war. My papa went into the war and he made it out safe. Those stripes and stars in our flag came from you.

The veteran population as a whole already faces challenges entering the workforce in comparison to their nonveteran counterparts. The veteran population with TBI and/or mental health conditions have additional

Lack of Government Support For Affected Veterans According to the article, “Government 's PTSD Treatment for Veterans, Lacking”, “They account for more than 75% of the roughly half a million VA patients receiving treatment for PTSD,” (Zarembo). Many veterans still continue to wait for their treatments, creating issues in their home life and even causing them to commit suicide. The 25% of the patients who are not treated suffer, this is where the government should come to play to help those people by providing more care and supporting the costs. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder should be better treated and better supported by the government to veterans because of the amount of soldiers waiting for treatment, lack of effectiveness in treatment,

Department of Veteran Affairs to form the Housing and Urban Development-Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (HUD-VASH) program for homeless veterans. This program was started on the initiative of President Barack Obama to end the homeless veteran epidemic by the end of 2015 (Montgomery et al. 506). The program aims to “move Veterans and their families out of homelessness and into permanent housing” by helping them rent privately owned homes (Department of Veteran Affairs). The dauntless task is divided between the two federal departments; the Department of Housing and Urban Development provides funding to local housing authorities so that they may provide vouchers to eligible veterans while the Department of Veteran Affairs assigns case managers to veterans to help them obtain the available housing. The program also provides medical care and psychological support for veterans with mental and physical disabilities (Department of Veteran Affairs).

On this issue, X and Y say veterans volunteered to serve and they got paid for what they did. Although I understand and to some degree sympathize with the point of view some Americans have, this is ultimately a question of loyalty. What’s at stake is not money but the lives of those who have already risked their lives. Therefore, we must take care of them , afterall they took care of us.

They also would need to go to the va but most veterans don 't live close enough to one to get the help they need. In contrast to all the things that soldiers have gone through they need all the help they need and deserve it. They need to have unlimited money to give all the help to returning soldiers and past soldiers for the sacrifices they gave to this beautiful country. They also deserve to have all their bills paid for by the va and not charged for it because some can 't afford the bills they are given. The ultimate sacrifice they don 't need the burden of bill to stress them out even more to could lead them to hurting themselves

In the United States thousands of veterans are not able to leave behind the horrors and traumatic events they experience while at war. They bring the war home and have to re-experience it in their minds each and every day, no matter how much time has passed since their last battle or traumatic

Patton reels in his final message in the first chapter of the last unit by finalizing his theory that politics are an essential part of an evaluator’s work and he/she should acknowledge, make note and not avoid of politics. He backs up his stance on the importance of politics by reiterating that political considerations involve ideology. A solid perspective is made by referring to key principles set by the American Evaluation Association. While evaluators articulate and become aware of the interest and values related to public welfare, a certain responsibility also goes beyond collecting and reporting data (Patton, 2008 p.526). Patton then goes on to descriptively show how other colleagues, such as Carol Weiss and Scriven, view politics
