Book excerpt: Women who fight in wars also have to fight for their right to do so. But what are the obstacles impeding their progress in achieving equal status as both active service members and as veterans? This book, written by a team of female veterans and military scholars, demonstrates the ways in which women service members and veterans experience a unique set of challenges when attempting to both honorably serve their country and reintegrate into civilian society following military service. These challenges include – but are not limited to – discrimination, staggering rates of suicide, and barriers to obtaining treatment for military sexual trauma and other critical benefits through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Women Veterans: Lifting the Veil of Invisibility examines current service-related policies and gender in the military’s hierarchical power structure. Here, a confluence of white male privilege and entitlement, the culture of domination, and the effeminization of the enemy manifest themselves as a backlash against women, calling into question a woman’s agency and her very status as a citizen. Special attention in the book is paid to the civil-military divide, representative bureaucracy, and the function of the military and civilian justice systems. Moreover, the need for appropriate healthcare policies and structures is examined within a ‘wicked problems’ framework. The authors conclude that the responsibility for women veterans, and all veterans for that matter, must become a matter of compelling government interest. This ground-breaking book is required reading for practitioners of public policy and administration with an interest in military and veterans affairs, public health, NGOs and activist groups, as well as scholars of gender and public service, public personnel management, and nonprofit management.

Book excerpt: Trauma-Informed Care for Women Veterans Experiencing Homelessness was commissioned by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) Women's Bureau (WB) as one of its many efforts to help women veterans who are experiencing homelessness find jobs and successfully reintegrate back to civilian life. This guide was created to address the psychological and mental health needs of women veterans. The guide is also a compilation of best practices aimed at improving effectiveness in engaging female veterans. Written for service providers, the guide offers observational knowledge, concrete guidelines, and resources for modifying practices aimed at improving reintegration outcomes. Furthermore, it defines the term "homeless veteran," discusses attempts to estimate the number of veterans who are homeless, and presents the results of studies regarding the demographic characteristics of homeless veterans as well as those surveyed as part of HUD's Annual Homeless Assessment Report to Congress. Finally, the book summarizes research regarding the overrepresentation of both male and female veterans, who have been found to be present in greater percentages in the homeless population than their percentages in the general population.

Download or read book Women Veterans written by Anna Gonzales and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-03-31 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are one woman and our words matter. Your words matter! My words matter! As women, we are individuals who can unite in authentic ways. I believe it is important to do our inner work and strengthen our own character so we can be a role model of compassion and success for other women. Having a conversation with a fellow entrepreneur turned into an interview idea for a Telesummit. Now 50 some interviews later we have 8 small books and a compilation book! I know you will enjoy these powerful stories and teachings. The chapters of this book showcase two of my interview guests. I ended up leaving the interviews in script format because they had such a beautiful flow and it was easier to read. I love getting people's messages out into the world; the messages that resonate with my message and what I am choosing to share. My message has evolved into a movement to unite women in love, nurture, and understanding by building a tribe of heart centered, supportive women who are confident and feel good about themselves, their skills, and their passions. I am a connector. I love connecting people to their soul and each other. I am good at helping people find clarity and releasing what no longer serves them. This book came about because I was feeling unfulfilled in my creativity. I was also hiding. In having a phone conversation one day I asked the person I was talking to if she would be open to having me do a phone interview that I could record and make into an Mp3. I told her I didn't know if I would put together an online summit and she was open to that idea as well. After 3 such interviews the title STUCK came to me and I went on to interview 14 women ages 16 to 77 about a time they were stuck in their lives. About 6 months later, after going through the process my husband Terry Earthwind Nichols created, I was all of a sudden okay with being on camera. I ended up interviewing over 50 women from my online classroom and turning those recordings into an Mp4 and sharing them through monthly online summits. The thing I enjoyed the most and what really brought out my skills and essence was the process I used to pull out a woman's true message by being her translator in order to bring out her truest self.
Book Synopsis Jubilee House by : Maya Valrissa Louise Marshall
Download or read book Jubilee House written by Maya Valrissa Louise Marshall and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-04-30 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jubilee House: Spiritual Formation for Women Veterans is a book of honor and recognition of the daughters of our nation. Well over 3 Million Veterans have served this great nation in all eras, conflicts, wars and scrimmages. Women have proudly served from World War I to Afghanistan. Jubilee House is an edifice of honor which was purchased by Barbara Summey Marshall and Maya Valrissa Louise Marshall to offer transitional housing services and spiritual support for homeless and transitioning women veterans. Barbara Summey Marshall is a proud Navy Veteran who served as a Yeoman and as Navy Chaplain for a total of over 15 years. Maya Valrissa Louise Marshall is a proud US Army Combat veteran who was deployed to Afghanistan during a time of war. Both women have an unwavering commitment to help shore up women veterans who have been displaced, discredited, discounted and forgotten. On or around March of 2005, these women veterans opened their family home to homeless women veterans and their children. This act of service continued in their home until the women veterans purchased o a Department of Veterans foreclosure in August 2010 which would become a separate resident for the homeless and transitioning women veterans. These women veterans used personal funds to purchase the VA foreclosure and to make many of the repairs. The women veterans named the edifice for homeless women veterans the Jubilee House. The home was named for the Time of refreshing described in the book found in the Hebrew Scripture known as Leviticus. Shortly after purchasing the house in August 2010, the languishing foreclosure was repaired and painted under the leadership of James Cornelius Neely, Jr., husband of Barbara Summey Marshall. James was a United States Marine Corps Veteran who served during the Vietnam War. James also suffered from the effects of Agent Orange. On or around January 2011, the American Broadcasting Companies Inc. Extreme HomeMakeover team of producers reached out to Barbara Summey Marshall and family and discussed the possibility of rebuilding the leaky 1300 square foot Jubilee House which was at the time housing four women veterans and 3 children. The Marshall-Neely family agreed to the rebuild and went through the stringent five month vetting process. Sadly, James would not live to see the renovated Jubilee House. After a series of emotional interviews and with the rigorous vetting process, James died suddenly from an Agent orange related heart malady in March 2011. With convincing from the American Broadcasting Companies Inc. team of Producers lead by Ashton Ramsey, whose Father was also a Vietnam Veteran, the widow of James Cornelius Neely Jr. decided to move forward with the project. In July of 2011, ABC rebuilt the edifice of honor for homeless and transitioning women veterans which was approximately 5000 feet of living space and 7 bathrooms. This seemed like the answer to a prayer, since there was no other house in the Fort Bragg/Fayetteville, North Carolina military community that honored "invisible women veterans." The time since the rebuild has been a learning curve and a revelation of how much women veterans have been devalued and over looked. The struggle to honor and acknowledge the service of women veterans is an ongoing battle. Therefore, the mission/ministry of the Jubilee House will forever be the nascent efforts of two disabled Women veterans who purchased a house with their own monies that was purposed to honor and recognize the service and sacrifice of Women veterans. We hope that this book will be a clarion call to Women veterans to "Get in Formation" and to make the most of life. No matter what challenges women veterans have faced, there is yet the courage and strength to recover and reintegrate. We offer these words of Spiritual Formation for the brave, courageous, intrepid, adventurous and spirited, audacious women who have and will serve in the armed forces of this great nation.

This book was released on 2018-03-29 with total page 467 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Approximately 4 million U.S. service members took part in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Shortly after troops started returning from their deployments, some active-duty service members and veterans began experiencing mental health problems. Given the stressors associated with war, it is not surprising that some service members developed such mental health conditions as posttraumatic stress disorder, depression, and substance use disorder. Subsequent epidemiologic studies conducted on military and veteran populations that served in the operations in Afghanistan and Iraq provided scientific evidence that those who fought were in fact being diagnosed with mental illnesses and experiencing mental healthâ€"related outcomesâ€"in particular, suicideâ€"at a higher rate than the general population. This report provides a comprehensive assessment of the quality, capacity, and access to mental health care services for veterans who served in the Armed Forces in Operation Enduring Freedom/Operation Iraqi Freedom/Operation New Dawn. It includes an analysis of not only the quality and capacity of mental health care services within the Department of Veterans Affairs, but also barriers faced by patients in utilizing those services.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spotlights the challenges faced by our increasing cadre of military women when their service ends and they become civilians. Combining research with narrative, this book exposes common threads of lived experience and reviews the latest data on military women and their healthy reintegration into civilian society. Female veterans share their stories of seeking to be seen in a culture where they don't quite fit and their struggles to find community and friendship. Some fought during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, as the first women in combat in American history. How and where, for example, does a female combat Marine find her tribe once she leaves the service? Through the stories of these courageous yet entirely human women, readers learn about the experiences of a new and often forgotten generation of veterans; about the challenges surrounding family and career choices that millions of American women face; and ultimately, about sacrifice, resiliency, loss, and love. This book will inform readers with an interest in female veterans and women's health and mental health issues, as well as researchers, students, and professionals working in fields encompassing women's psychology, health, and social work.
