Maine Points: Veterans Forward

This week on Maine Points, we welcome A.J. Jones, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and Veteran Peer Specialist with Easterseals Maine, to discuss Veterans Forward and its mission to support Maine veterans and their families.

We’ll explore the challenges veterans face when returning to civilian life, the importance of peer-to-peer support, and how Veterans Forward connects veterans with critical resources.

We’ll also look ahead to NewsRadio WGAN’s Make 12 Hours Count Radiothon on Thursday, October 15, benefiting Veterans Forward, a program of Easterseals Maine.
