It is our responsibility to help ensure their transition back to civilian life is as smooth as possible, and Easter Seals and Veterans Count work toward that important goal every single day,\u201d said Congresswoman Kuster. \u201cThe employment, housing, and mental health services they provide are essential in the effort to support our servicemen and women. I am honored to have the opportunity to express my gratitude and appreciation for everything that they do.\u201d\nVeterans Count is an Easter Seals program that was created in 2007 to provide a full range of services to veterans and their families who are affected by deployments. Together, Easter Seals NH and Veterans Count work to provide crucial services to veterans and their families, including employment counseling, housing support, mental health services, substance abuse treatment, and other programs.\nKuster, a member of the U.S. House Veterans\u2019 Affairs Committee, regularly meets with Granite State veterans to learn more about how Congress can best support them.
