Assemblyman Curran Announces Veterans 2018 Welcome Home Event

Event to help veterans suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress

Today, Assemblyman Brian Curran (Lynbrook – 21st AD) announced the 2018 Welcome Home Event hosted by the Operation-Initiative Foundation in concert with his office and Sen. Todd Kaminsky. Veterans suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress will be able to connect with and hear presentations from experts and industry professionals on a number of topics. Topics will include: suicide awareness, recognition and prevention; traumatic brain injury and alternative treatment approaches.

“I have always been a strong advocate for providing resources and services to help our veterans recover from their experiences,” said Curran. “These brave men and women have given so much to our country; we must do more for them. I am so thankful to the Operation-Initiative Foundation for putting on this event. Many of our veterans do not know where to turn for help with the serious issues they are facing. This event will be informative and may just save lives.”

The event will take place February 15 at the Lynbrook Library from 1 to 8:30 p.m. Early registration for veterans and their caregivers will be from 1 to 4 p.m. All veterans must provide a copy of their DD 214.
