Do you know of a veteran who is facing a barrier to employment?

The VA has a Compensated Work Therapy (CWT) program designed to help veterans regain their confidence in the work place.

“”Employment is a critical protective factor against suicide, homelessness and substance use. CWT is a vital employment and therapeutic work program assisting Veterans with job barriers faced from mental health or physical disabilities,” Alfredo Torres, a VA vocational rehabilitation specialist in a recent LinkedIn post.

Known online as “The Paisley Prince,” Torres, a Navy veteran, suggests military professionals and their families watch this short YouTube video for an overview of the program.
