The transition from military service to civilian life can be overwhelming. The loss of military support systems, the need to establish new social relations, and adaptation to civilian norms and expectations may contribute to readjustment difficulties, relationship strain, and other challenges that can increase the risk of criminal justice involvement.  The Empower Project helps with additional support for the veteran and families.

When veterans transition from service, the military requires them to participate in a Transition Assistance Program (TAP) to learn about their benefits and educational and employment options. But concerns have been raised about the program’s narrow scope and inability to address important post-transition issues, such as the adjustment to civilian social and work environments, financial planning, housing, and managing trauma responses.

By Volunteering and Donating to the empower project. This helps with transportation assistance to appointments, housing assistance, medical assistance, legal assistance, overseas care packages and counseling assistance. This help is provided by business partnerships in the community and donations.

The Empower project was originally started to give our veterans a fair advantage in the family law courts of Indiana. It was used to fund legal fees of veterans fighting to see their children. Since we have offered assistance to veterans with transportation assistance, legal fees assistance, rent assistance, medical fees assistance and send over seas packages to current soldiers overseas.
