Recovering combat vets, family resources a keystroke away Published Jan. 27, 2009 By Shari Lopatin TriWest Healthcare Alliance PHOENIX, ARIZ. -- A new e-source offering volumes of help for recovering service members and their families is now just a keystroke away. The National Resource Directory is a collaborative effort between the Departments of Defense, Labor and Veterans Affairs. This online library of information provides thousands of recovering service members, veterans, families and caregivers with resources they may need. It has information about everything from VA disability compensation and unemployment benefits, to family support services and education or employment help. The directory even connects to the Wounded Warrior Resource Call Center, which has trained specialists available to assist callers 24 hours a day, seven days a week. So why all the hoopla over a new online directory? Simple: it's the most comprehensive directory designed to smooth the transition to full rehabilitation for recovering service members, families and caregivers. Check out the new National Resource Directory at www.nationalresourcedirectory.org. Visit TriWest online at www.triwest.com or call 1-888-TRIWEST (874-9378) for additional resources and information.
