WARETOWN – A military veteran’s experiences can leave impacts that create lasting inner damage if left unchecked. There is a way to help veterans in duress. Learn the S.A.V.E method of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) New Jersey Health Care System at the Ocean County Library Waretown Branch, 10:30 AM Saturday, December 7.

Members of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs New Jersey Health Care System will teach ways to identify and assist veterans in extreme distress. S.A.V.E is an acronym for Signs, Ask, Validate, Encourage/Expedite.
